************SOLD*************
This sword was purchased new last year and has seen some light use cutting water bottles, a few twigs and a little cardboard. No carry time though. There are some very fine scratches from this use and from drawing and sheathing the sword. No dings on the blade. I would rate the sword at 95% of new or better. The sword is sharp, but not shaving sharp, IMO.
As described on a dealer’s website:
“All Rob's swords are hand crafted, one at a time, from A2 steel and vacuum differentially heat treated to a hardness of 61rc on the edge and 58 rc on the back. the blade is hollow ground. The tsuba is stainless steel and the handle is wrapped with 550 para cord. the end cap of the handle is stainless steel and G10.”
I believe that Rob is now making only the long sword in limited quantities, so these wakizashi swords will likely be in short supply.
Blade length 19.75”
OAL: Approximately 28.60”
Sheath Heavy duty G10 sheath
$330 shipped in the CONUS (first preference goes to shipping in the CONUS). Paypal +3% or USPS M.O. Please email me if you would like this one. Thanks for looking.
