How do I take care of of my katana?
I recently bought a Hattori Hanzo Samurai Sword, a replica of the one used by Bill in the "Kill Bill" movies. It has some liquid on the blade when I bought it. I'm assuming it's grease to keep it from rusting, but I'm not sure. Should I leave the liquid on the blade, or take it off? Would I need to reapply it? This is merely memorabilia for me, and I don't plan on using it.
if you're never going to use it just keep it in it's sheath.
besides I've never seen one of those kill bill copies as a battle ready sword. they are usually just wall hangers.
if you do intend to use your katana you can get a cleaning kit in a descent store.
this is an example

the basics for cleaning the katana are the following
first wipe down with the rice paper (kitchen paper will do fine too) to remove the old oil.
then cover the blade in lime with the ball shaped object
remove the lime with another piece of paper
cover again in new oil
and you have one clean katana.
