What Is This Sword?

I know it could be a nanjato, katana, samurai sword...but I like to get the EXACT one. Any help would be awesome! Even contacted VISTA to see if they'll tell me. Haven't heard anything back yet. Thanks, guys!

Most of it is hidden and it's hardly the focus of the clip, but I'd call it a katana. It appears to have a moderate curve, rounded and decorated tsuba, and a blade length of around 2 feet (or 2 shaku, if you want to go technical). There is very little historical evidence for ninjato as a specific ninja weapon, but they are usually described as shorter and straighter than katana with a plain, square or disc-shaped tsuba.

That said, katana would not be worn slung on the back, but edge-up through an obi. A ninjato (if such a thing existed) would be worn as the one in the video is. 

If you're asking for the particular model as sold in SL, I don't know. I have seen that one (it has a very characteristic animated ribbon on the pommel) but I've no idea who makes it.

It looks like the Red Sunset Katana or the Dragon Katana by Archanox Underthorn, they are no longer available in SL - they were popular in from  2006 -2010 for C:si fighting (it is a scripted katana for battles), but that is all gone.
