Edward Mahle Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Wow that's a steal of a deal my friend. I think this would make a perfect starter blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull McCabe Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 This is exactly what I have been looking for as a step up from my WW2 gunto. I’m likely too late but will venture you a message anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted May 10 Author Report Share Posted May 10 More photos of the blade. Potential buyers should note that I guarantee everything I sell. Returns are accepted for any reason. I am confident enough of this sword to even offer free returns for US addresses. I will ship internationally but only to countries that permit it. Most do not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death-Ace Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Shoot, if this is still available when I get back stateside, I'd definitely be interested. For 2k, a papered blade and tsuba, in koshirae and a shirasaya? Definitely not a bad deal! Plus I'm a bit biased towards the Uda school, since I love theirs and their ancestors' works.
