    Japan might made cheap products in those days, but never made such ugly products. The sword is absolutely not Japanese taste.

    I know almost nothing about Iaido practice. And this is only a physical consideration. Generally speaking, if its saki-kasane is thick, the blade is heavier in tip area compared with normal shape blades even if they have the same weight. So, its moment of inertia is greater than that of normal katana when you hold it by its tsuka. That makes you feel heavier when you hold or swing the katana. But at the same time, its cutting performance may be greater.

    Piers, As you found, it looks like a takohiki. Takohiki (蛸引) type is mainly used in Kanto area and yanagiba (柳刃) type is used in Kansai area. Both types are used to cut sashimi.

    There were many samurai dramas after the early 1900s. Most of them were entertainment works with questionable historical accuracy. As one of nonsense settings, samurai use their kozuka as trowing knives in films. Ordinally people still believe such acts even nowadays. She might be merely one of them. And I think that she confused kogai, kozuka/kogatana and kankyuto/bashin. Samurai TV drama in 1972, false use of a kozuka.
