Swords of the knifeshows

[Sam Salvati]

So I see pretty often, an award is given for "best sword" at alot of the knifeshows. Does anyone have any photos and/or information on some of these?

this one won at blade west this last september.

24 inch forged blade, with copper habaki. the fittings I brought home from Japan. Black and gold silk ito with gold plated silver menuki. Black silk sageo tied in a traditional display knot. I made the saya from alder and the koiguchi and kurikata are from caped buffalo horn. hope you like it.
