So United Cutlery put out a semi-accurate katana for Storm Shadow from G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. However, Storm Shadow carries a Daisho, one half of which is the katana and the other half being a wakizashi which is roughly 7" shorter than the katana.
I bought two of the katanas and they just came in today.
A single pin holds the grip in place. I took it, and the guard off, then cut down the blade from the back end and refit everything in place. For being my first time modifying a blade, I thought I did pretty good and now have the matching pair. I also cut down the scabbard to fit the wakizashi. All that is left is to reapply the Arashikage clan symbol on the wakizashi.
I don't know why the wakizashi was never offered, but I am actually thinking I might offer this one up and try it again, just because it was actually a fun little project.
Anyway, here is a pic of the wakizashi and the katana.
