The Swordsmiths of Japan put in two pegs of Bamboo in the handle, and then some do not. It depends on the Katana and the maker, and the length of the weapon. Do the reasearch, you'll be amazed the information that you can find on your own. Some folks have never handled a Katana much less had one in front of themselves. And they give false information that was never asked for to begin with...remember this is the internet,and we still have Libraries out there. Or find someone that owns a Katana and grill them for answers.

no it is just the sword itself although it is a very nice quality sword for the price. very solid and durable.

Yes. Although the weapon is amberdexrious, the basket guard is fitted for the right hand. On a second note, the quality of this sword is VERY good! I love this Cutlass! Fit and finish is awesome and the blade is strong and sharp as promised by Cold Steel.

No it does not. It has little "pins or bumps" on each side. You turn the handle sideways and it kinda snaps in place. Hope this helps.

The factory seconds are usually stamped with a "2" somewhere out of the way such as the underside of the crossguard. If you don't find anything stamped into the sword, you should be good.

Yes it does but it's kind of a cheap one, I ended up ordering a hanzo stand which is much nicer, it's got a spot for 2 swords and is shiney and says hitori hanzo on it

Technically you are correct. The 2nd letter denotes how many pins are used. The name just stuck from days of old.

Yes, the pins are included with the shank to hold it in the position of your choice.

Not at all. The two throwing knives are punched out from the handle of the sword. Wish I found that out when I bought it but the handle unraveled later on and I realized the shoddy craftsmanship :(

Yes. But think of it as a body strap grabbing the sheath not the sword itself.

When we got ours, my wife tried to use the link remover. It had the one pin attachment. However, the first 2 seconds she tried to use it, it broke.

No, it's symmetrical to the side shown in the picture. I'm really surprised as how decent the sword is to cost so little to tell you the truth.

There is suppose to be a handle ty-wrapped to one of the steel legs and there should be two black handle ends in the box also. If worse comes to worse you could use a piece of 1/2 pipe and drill a hole through the middle of it then bolt is where the pin goes. it works but the handle moves around so make sure you are wearing gloves so you dont slip and pinch your hands.

The handle has a partial tang going though it, and wooden grips. On top of the wood is fiberglass and resin to hold it together sturdy. This is a Cosplay or display replica, not a functional or battle ready sword.

Yes it does. But the sword is only one piece don't try to take it apart to get it in hand some people have done that and broke the bottom part of the handle thinking it removed.

I purchase this item a long time ago for an Air Force project. I would say it has male pins.

you should have three threads. I would bet however this handle works fine with two. Mine came with three. I don't recall if they were all brass threads or if one was plastic. After having all that said, I put three of the same bolts in the handle.
