I don't usually start this kind of thread, but I find I just can't help it this time. I just sent out some cash for a Manjushree, purchased from a fellow forumite, and would like to see some of the other ones that are out there. I understand there are several renditions, which I guess can be told apart from the pommel? Anyways, I'd like to see your HI swords, particularly rare ones like the Manjushree and Dukti. I couldn't really find any pics of Dukti, but there have to be folks out there with some, right?

I'll lead off with my HI katana, rehandled in cocobolo, with mosaic pins:
