Katana used by Gabrielle in Episode “Friend In Need Part 2”
This sword is metal with a beautiful etched pattern on the blade. The sheath is separate and has intricate metal patterns on both ends. Gabrielle was the only character with this style sword that had the blue silk on the sword and sheath. I have seen this style sword in other collections without the blue silk so there may have been another character or army that carried these in the FIN episodes or they were just made for her character. The sword sheaths without the blue silk may never have made it to film or may have been removed after filming. The blue silk does tie the sword to Gabrielle. This came with an IAW COA that identifies this sword as Gabrielle’s.
