Is this basically a "Kothimoda Style" sword due to the very well carved handle, but with a standard sheath? Quality-wise, how will it compare with a Standard katana from the HI Web site? I'd guess that part of what makes this one so special is that it is by Bura -- he's been churning out a lot of beautiful work lately; how can one man do all that?

I'm primarily interested for future reference; I went for the 10/19 Dukti last night (it kept calling to me during the weekend and I was losing sleep). I'm attempting to limit purchases to one sword or large khukri per month (with mixed results), so while I don't think I'll pull the trigger on this one, it does have me thinking...
