Hi I was currently looking at a sword and I was wondering how much it would be worth but I have no Idea. Its probably the same one Bimmer was talking about a few posts back from Sky Castles, here are the specs that the seller lists.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
This is a Japanese-styled Katana, made by Sky Castles of Shawnee, Kansas. As with all of their swords, the blade is made of 1075 Carbon Steel, differentially hardened (the edge of the blade is much harder than the middle and spine), and tempered to a stiff spring temper. These blades are meant to be used, not just hung on the wall for decoration (although they are plenty attractive to serve that purpose as well!). The edge is not "scary" sharp, but is a coarser and more servicable edge. Again, these swords are meant to be used! The grip is wrapped with cord, for a secure non-slip hold. The Tsuba or guard, is octagon shaped, and made of mild steel. The blade measures 28 inches long, and is 1.18 inches wide and the hilt, and .875 inches wide just before the point begins. The overall length is 38.5 inches. This pieces does not have a sheath or scabbard.
