Deal in honor of Great Uncle Frank -- pix and deal.

[Bill Martino]

I'm here doing the job and trying to do it right, Dad, just as you would want and expect me to do so this one is for you.

Here's a beautiful katana by Bura -- 36.6 inches and 41 ounces. Good work. Nice wood wrapped in buff leather by village sarke -- solid. Handle carving done by Bura himself and well done it is. Problem is about 3 minutes worth of rust removal at the tip. Take in home today for $175 and thank Great Uncle Frank for the $125 savings.

Nice.

It's probably in the archive somewhere, but

how come, who, & when was the HI katana first made?

Gone. Went right away. Frank will be pleased.

In the words of Homer Simpson "Dohhh!"

Missed another one. Straight, too. Really looking for a straight one...

Nice snag, Brendan.

Wow that carving is exceptional. Uncle Frank would indeed be proud Uncle Bill.
