I thought my product was made in Japan… Looks like made in China… good thing blade sharp display doesn’t look bad except handle has wood piece that’s light brown that doesn’t match black they could’ve dyed it. Def worth more around $50-$90 not $150. The little wood part on sword handle bothers me they should’ve dyed it black to blend it in. Other than that honestly it’s just okay and don’t think it was worth the $150
