YES!
My birthday was yesterday and I had asked my gf a few months ago to see if they had created replicas yet, but none thus far
I guess I'll have to settle with the swords that I have thus far (one of them actually greatly resembles Hiro's sword in the blade and the handle)... lol.
I'm also contemplating buying a Buster Sword replica (from Final Fantasy VII), I just don't know where I'd keep it lol - but that's a different story hehh |

I got a little advice when I was taking a few iaido classes: Do not try swinging swords that are made for decoration only. They tend not to be made well, and you may get pieces flying across the room.
My sword is a bokutoh - a practice sword made of wood, all one piece (except the tsuba) - so that wasn't really a problem. I am so not ready for something with a sharp edge. |

I have a good replica sword that I have practiced with. It's well balanced and I was impressed by the feel of it. However, I want to get one with a better hilt that can be used over and over without hurting my palms.
I too have wooden practice sword.
I too would love to get a well made replica of Hiro's sword. |
