Since I finally found out the taste of Amu Bill:
Here we have Vanessa for one of the greatest man on our planet earth for Amu Bill:
Stats
Type of sword: Vanessa Lorenzo
Forged in: 1977, Barcelona, Spain
Usage: Model
Lengths: 5' 7½"
Eyes (two precious stones): Blue
Measurements including width!: 32½-23-35½ inches
History of the sword Vanessa Lorenzo
"Biography: Vanessa Lorenzo
Her blonde tresses and expressive blue eyes would never lead you to think she is Spanish, but Catalonian Vanessa Lorenzo was born in Barcelona 24 years ago. Measuring a mere 5' 7½", she is undoubtedly a petite model, but that hasn't eclipsed her rising star or hampered the consolidation of her international career. Rarely does one encounter a career as longstanding as hers in this short-lived occupation. Add her early start to this profile and you know we are talking about a true "long distance runner."
Born under the strong sign of Capricorn, Vanessa started modeling when she was just ten years old. Later, at the age of 17, she left Spain for Paris where a local modeling agency thought her figure and characteristics would do well in the City of Lights.
"But the day after I arrived, they rushed me to London," recalls Vanessa, "I hardly spoke English and I remember being scared. Pepe Jeans called me and I shot their campaign in London. After that I began to work internationally. I lived in Paris for three years, but always returning to Spain, because my family lived, and still does, in Barcelona."
Regarding her life in Paris she comments, "I felt really homesick. Paris is a very cold city - especially the people there - and you feel this more intensely when you're very young and your friends and family are not around. Getting ahead was difficult."

Well she is a very good blade! I think it is wootz with double kirk Nardeban and two roses pattern!
Some experts consider her as a simple Kirk Nardeban wootz, but I do no think so Amu Bill!

In the past some experts made a mistake and thought she was a mechanical damascus pattern, but they were surely mistaken!!!

Some people even considered her as a Turkish Ribbon pattern! 
They were wrong!

Can you imagine my Amu Bill that some Nihonto experts identified her as a Katana with a hamon of Shinto period!

I especially had to laugh when some Chinese experts tried to call her a Yanmadao style with a Sanmei construction!

After careful polishing we found out that she is of pure Persian wootz with double Kirk Nardeban and double rose. Look at the pattern Amu Bill

I would spend all my money on Vanessa leaving nothing for knives or even food.
