OOOO you da man...

Can you get me the Katana 29 for the original price it was like 2 years ago (155 dollars) or the wakizashi for the orginal price too?


For you guys who don't know, swordforum magazinze did a test of like a bunch of blades, and the kris cutlery blades came up on top, above the standard Hanwei Practical katana and the Paul Chen Golden Oriole, which is like 500 dollars

Is it a real Katana?

Meaning, made in the traditional process of being forged from a single block of melted steel/iron... hammered and folded, and again, and again, and again..... until it is so dense, it can cut other swords, and metals?

Or are these "for decoration purposes"


One day will go to Japan, and find an old smith, and have a Katana made, in the traditional sense. Nothing like the real thing. (Probably costs HELLA money too )

If you want real traditional Nihonto, I can hook you up as well. Check out my other friends website: www.dragonflyforge.com.

Also, check out: www.swordforum.com

We'll be talking tomorrow

They should add a Dai-Katana to their line up.
