That's the thing. It's just a katana sword and for it to be considered one then they usually have pretty much the same design. Hearing people trying to spike up a reason why DMC's Yamato is somehow better than DmC's is weird. They are pretty much the same exact goddamn thing. I'm only really noticing the lack of yellow ribbon and if that's a deal breaker I'd like them realize how stupid that sounds.Had a look on google for katana swords.
The design on the handle seems like a common thing. But I definitely wouldn't have minded the handgaurd being a bit more defined like those in the pictures above.
