This my prize piece. It is not stainless steel, or anything found on Shop At Home. It is a true working weapon. Ive worked long and hard on it. Refinishing the blade, resharpening, even re-etching the temper line. Had the tsuka (hilt) rebuilt completely, and thats rayskin (full wrap), black silk ito (cord wound over the rayskin), and a replica of an antique tsuba (guard)featuring a dragon in the water added on for good measure. Call it a labor of love....
