WOW!!! congratulations Megalobyte...very nice investment indeed. like you, i am also fortunate to find out that Bailey has been producing excellent Japanese swords. i met Mr. Bradshaw at Chicago Custom Knife Show. he brought my bare blade katana (hira zukuri) and i immediately fell in love with it. after seeing your pictures i have no doubt that my sword would have the same excellent craftsmanship.
hopefully Bailey will post some pictures when it is done...
very nicely done Bailey. i'm with Megalobyte, i think i need to have the whole matching set as well.
