Highlander – Katana of Connor MacLeod

Description of the Product

Highlander is an epic tale of Connor MacLeod, a Scottish Highlander. He meets Ramírez, a Spanish swordsman, who tells him they both possess a Kind of Magic and are immortal, and can only be killed by beheading. As there can be only one, they must behead other immortals in order to absorb their powers. Ramirez is duly beheaded by their arch nemesis Kurgan, "the strongest of all immortals and the most cruel of warriors". Connor MacLeod is left alone, wondering Who Wants to Live Forever. Many centuries, and swordfights later, the ultimate showdown between Connor MacLeod and Kurgan takes place in 1980’s New York. Will evil win once and for all, or will Connor be able bring peace, understanding and co-operation to humanity?

During his life spanning several centuries, Connor MacLeod only uses two different swords: the first one was a Scottish longsword. After Ramírez, his mentor, is killed, Connor adopts Ramírez’s dragon katana to use as his own. The sword had been a wedding gift to Ramirez, and made by a legendary swordsmith, Masamune. The katana was unique, and had a carved dragon's head in a ivory handle, and an ornate gold tsuba.

This sword is perfect for the collection of every fan of the Highlander films. The katana has the characteristic dragon handle, a gold-colored tsuba, which also depicts a dragon, and gold-colored fittings. The katana comes with a black saya, as it had when later used by Connor MacLeod.

The stainless steel blade is easy to care for, and the sword is ideal as a decoration, as part of a costume, as a collectible and suitable for light cutting practice. The material is not suitable for steel-on-steel fencing or heavy cutting practice.
