Added another samurai sword to my collection, this makes it 2 now, haha. This one is made by United Cutlery, Kogane Dynasty Tachi Sword Damascus. Seems to be well made.

So you sit around the house watching Ellen while playing with your "sword"?
Nice blade bro! I don't make enough to start another hobby, shooting, traveling and photography eats up all my excess funds as it is. Very cool though.

$148 from Kennesaw, just make sure if you order from them you find the promo code near the top, it'll save you a bundle, in my case it was more than 42 bucks.
I was recently given two 1930s-1940s vintage Japanese Imperial Army Katanas. Both have their imperial seal (chrysanthemum flower) nicely intact. Both are well used and have some nicks in the blades (makes me shudder thinking of what these swords chopped). One does not have it's correct scabbard though.
Bwahahahahaha!
Seriuosly though, that looks like a fine blade. I had a much cheaper version of a Ninjato when I was a kid. Used to spend hours out in the backyard pretending I was the American Ninja (showing my age somewhat). My sword did have a bit of an edge to it though. How I kept both my hands and feet will remain a mystery.
I have a buddy who repairs, refurbishes and appraises swords for museums. He showed me a number of them when I was at his place one day. One was worth around $60K, and it wasn't even the one with the nicest hamon and figure in the blade. Having the chance to look at various temper lines (hamon) and the figure of the steel's weld patterns was really neat. I can see how people get into just looking closely at the blades for a long time. Some blades have a very fine wood grain type of figure in the steel from all the laminations.
Way out of my league though. I had to wear cotton gloves, and hold a folded cloth in my mouth while handling them.
