$1,100.00 Retail for 12" blade model, I'm looking only for $1,400 OBO, the one for sale is a special request with 16" blackened blade giving this sword incredible chopping/piercing capabilities while still being highly manueverable. This blade was a special custom order and never used etc. It is brand new but having to sell due to the Big D. My loss your gain. Contact me for more questions etc.
