Well ever since I opened the triangle box I have had a big smile on my face. This sword is amazing - a beast and a beauty rolled together with classic Rajkumar panache'. Elegant yet soooo tough feeling, truly a blend of styles. I love it !! Thanks Yangdu and thanks Rajkumar "The Prince".

Looks very nice. How does it feel in hand? How sharp does it come? Looks good in pics, are there spots where you can see where the metal was folded on pommel and can you see lots of the black epoxy? Doesn't look like there is in the photos but just wondering. That's cool that it is a full exposed tang too. How is the blade? In one pic it doesn't look straight but that may just be the camera.
 
Thats VERY nice !!!
I just got a Wajaski made by Kami Bura and it is sweeeet --- wish someone would sell me a Bura Katana to go with it : (

The Katana has a feeling of power - a bit different than my Tarwars. The extra reach plus longer handle equaling more leverage really makes a difference. It is shaving sharp right out of the box, with a nice polish to the blade. Yes you can see where the brass was joined, it's not bad looking though. No trace of epoxy, this is a very clean sword. Rajkumar is on top with fit and finish. The blade is shaped just as I wanted - with a nice curve. Some HI Katanas I've seen pics of seem like they have very little or no curve to the blade. This one is staying in my collection, I'll display it but not sell it. I'm afraid the next one wouldn't be as nice. :)
 
That is one gorgeous kat. :) I have one by Bura that has been my bump in the night blade for years. Fantastic swords, but I dare say yours more than rivals mine. Hang on to that one. She's a keeper.:)
 
Great pix and display, thank you for sharing
