Andy,
Thanks for the reply. That is what they told me a few years back. Is that an estimate if I want the sword made from INFI? I have a handmade japanese sword that intend to sell to have this one made. Is there anyway the two year wait can be shortened. I would like to be as giving as possible to make everything smoother but the shape and design I have in mind are really all the things I feel (my) sword should be for me. Also, does the thickness of the blade make a difference in price or is the price just for shaping one bar of a particular size. Let me know when are the best times to call your number and I will talk to you tomorrow ( the 26th) unless there is still time to call you this evening.
