Here's the pix of the sabers we were talking about in another thread.

Its a Desein ceremony called Badau Jattra that was done in the village of Jomsom. As part of the ceremony, they are carrying their ancestors' weapons.

As you can see from the pix ruel posted for us the old steel handles are wrist breakers so I'd guess Bura & Co. will put on a wood or horn handle that is more practical and make it big enough for our hands. I'm guessing the price will be about the same as a basic katana -- $245. But, I don't know if this project will ever get off the ground or not. Some don't.
