eternal_newbie Posted August 25 Report Posted August 25 11. @Lewis B is right, this is a fantastic deal. Many well-done photos, done in settings that emphasize nie and hataraki, even showing through the hadori polish - something that often isn't done on blades of this calibre 16. "Massive" doesn't just mean "long" - the book itself is quite large, and so are the photographs inside Good buys here for folks interested in top-end blades. 2 Quote

He's considered a shoo-in to be appointed a Living National Treasure, assuming there will ever be any more appointed. Quote
