Could anyone translate this Chinese(?) word/phrase?

[Rip The Jacker]

I was just given one of these:



And there is a word/phrase on it, I think it's Chinese, could be wrong, does anyone know what this says?

Upwards (?):



Upside down (?):





Thanks.

It says "Stainless Steel" and "Hold with pointy end facing away from body"

[Rip The Jacker]

Well that's lame.

It's a nice Katana,so I'd imagine it's a Japanese word.

[Rip The Jacker]

I thought so too, but it's not real-real, just a novelty. It says China on it somewhere also. =/

it says, do not use in bathroom

[Rip The Jacker]

it says, do not use in bathroom

But that's where I cut myself.

i bet it says 'Made in Taiwan'

[Rip The Jacker]

i bet it says 'Made in Taiwan'

It says made in China on the other side.
