The HI Everest KATANA

[Jim March]

Pics are of an early prototype - some modifications have already been made, others are being suggested. The "pommel-tsuba" is already gone, and the real tsuba is now much thicker.

This has serious potential as the baaadest "true battle ready" Katana in the sub-$500 price range.
