Are all the replicas on EBay and Etsy basically the same swords just with some minor details changed ?
All of the 1095 seem to be in China .No, just like Highlander swords, there are million of them. The quality varies greatly, from cheap crap to fine grade. Look for hand forged, folded 1095 steel or better, that's about where the good ones start.
Cool lot thanks for sharing buy “ Kyle” is a piece of sh** Grifter I have personal experience with that rodent . Pretty sure he got booted from the RPF .I'm definitely no expert but I do have some experience with purchasing swords. I only have one 1095 Katana, the two highlander Swords are T10 made by Dayle Kyle, the rest are 1065, the European ones are a mix of Dark Sword Armory and Cold Steel, with the two Witcher swords are just something I found on eBay and are of unknown origin.

I heard about that, that's unfortunate, but not when I dealt with him in 2020, these were the best prop buying experiences I ever had. One thing I forgot to add is some Chinese sword makers will engrave your name in Kangi on the blade which is pretty cool, I have a few of them like that.
