I bought this sword on eBay because I am a big Zatoichi fan and just wanted to have a replica. This was the closest one that looks like the blade Zatoichi uses and it was reasonably priced.
The habaki is loose and rattles when the katana is out of the saya. The seller I purchased it from says that Musashi is sending him a hapaki that will fit. I don't know if I will ever use it or even take it apart.
