ORIGINS OF CONNOR'S KATANA Connor's katana originally belonged to Juan Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez. Ramirez was an Immortal born in ancient Egypt and who came to Scotland to find Connor and mentor him in ways of the Immortals.
This special gift from teacher to student was forged by the legendary Japanese master swordsmith Masamune in 593 BC. Masamune gave Ramirez the katana after Ramirez married Shikiku, Masamune’s daughter. Ramirez wielded this katana for the next 2,000 years. Despite this and his vast experience, Ramirez was killed by the Kurgan while defending Connor's wife, Heather. Connor found the katana and preserved it, although he preferred to use the large broadsword of his clan. After Heather's death, Connor used his Scottish broadsword to mark her grave and began to use Ramirez's katana in his battles with other Immortals.
It was an incredibly powerful sword, with the metal in the blade being folded over 200 times, thus creating a blade of extraordinary strength and flexibility. Combining design elements from the swords evolutionary history told in Highlander 1 and Highlander 2, United Cutlery has reproduced the ultimate version of this legendary katana!
