Dragon Tsuba

Does anyone know this Katana model?

I got it for 170 USD and it’s probably not Japanese. I got it from my Martial Arts Class and the one I saw before had a box on which it said it was Taiwanese. It’s definitely hand-made and it’s probably in mass production, too, because someone else in my class has one like it as well. The quality is great, though it didn’t come very sharpened.
Description: It is almost 100 cm. I think it was around 98.
The Kashiri(Bottom part, below the handle) has a samurai in armor.
The tsuka(Handle) is around 30 cm long and it has gold decorations wrapped in blue.
The tsuba has 2 warriors and a dragon on both sides.
The habaki is silver with a Japanese kanji(刀-katana).
The hamon has triangle-like marks.
The scabbard is well decorated as you can see in the picture.

@Answer 1: They said they bought me a handmade one.

It is not handmade. The hamon is fake, and is obviously brushed on – a real hamon should never extend to the ha (this is called nioi giri), that would be considered a fatal flaw and would make the sword virtually worthless. It looks like it says 440 stainless right on the blade itself, which is a clear indication that it is not handmade – a smith would not put a horimono on the blade indicating the type of steel used. Blade geometry looks wrong. It’s basically a decoration, and I would highly recommend not using it for any type of training since stainless steel is prone to breaking due to the rigidity of the steel. I can’t tell from the lighting, but it looks like the “same” (ray skin) is painted gold, and it doesn’t look like the tsuka has any menuki which is another sign it is a decorative sword.

It is definitely not Japanese, and definitely not handmade. If you bought it as a decoration, and you are happy with it, then that is fine, but it is not a training sword. If you were led to believe it was more than a decoration, then you should ask for your money back.
