I have quite a few nice swords I'll be listing here, over the next week, as time permits.
The first one I have, has no markings, so I don't know who made it. I have quite a few C.A.S. swords, it may be one of theirs, did they make any without markings?

The blade is carbon steel, it has some black spots over approximately 30 percent of the blade (carbon steel does this) there is no rust. Some fine grit sandpaper would clean these up with no problem. The blade has a satin finish to it.

The balance point is 6 inches in front of the guard, very well balanced sword and light weight, feels very nice in the hand. I can flip this sword (1 revolution) and catch it by the handle.

It can easily cut small branches and it's been used on brush, grass, wood etc.

When I first purchased this it came with a shaving sharp edge on it, but it no longer has a sharp edge, I simply don't know how to sharpen a sword. I'm sure quite a few of you could put a nice edge on this. It will still chop small branches.


It is double edged and comes with a well made heavy duty leather scabbard with a belt loop. (no, I never carried it on my belt:D)

I believe the tang goes all the way to the end piece. The blade doesn't rattle nor do any of the fittings/guard, as I said it's a solid, well built, heavy duty piece. Have I forgot anything?


Overall length: 33"
Blade length: 26 3/4"
Stock thickness: 3/16"
Blade steel is carbon, other than that I don't know.
Weight approximate: 1 1/2 lbs


Price is 155.00 I can take paypal (preferred) or a postal money order.

Shipping on this is going to be 18.00 via UPS, insured for the full amount.

If I can answer any questions or send additional pictures, let me know.

The next one could best be described as a western katana, as it doesn't have the traditional rayskin/cordwrap handle. This is one of my favorites, but my tastes have changed.

I've had this one for roughly 6-7 years, it's been taken care of, but it does have cracks in the hardwood handle, which can clearly be seen in the pictures. The black on the upper part of the handle are from grip tape I had on it at one point and could easily be sanded off.

The blade is carbon steel, there are no black spots and no rust. The blade does have a rough finish, but could be given a nice polish by someone more skilled than myself.

The blade itself is not shaving/paper slicing sharp but has more of a chopping edge, easily capable of taking small branches. I really wish I had the skills to sharpen this one, because I wouldn't be selling it, if I did.

The habaki, tsuba and fittings are brass. Also the grips on the hardwood sheath are brass, all of the brass needs a good polish. There is no rattle in the fittings or the blade, everything is nice and tight.

If I've forgotten anything or you have any questions let me know. No markings on the blade, I'm guessing it's a C.A.S. sword.


Overall length: 42"
Blade length: from tip to habaki: 29 5/8"
Stock thickness: 5/16"
Distal taper: goes to about 1/8" at the tip
Weight without sheath: approximately 3 lbs.


Price on this piece is 195.00> 175.00 I can accept paypal (preferred) or a postal money order.

Shipping will be 18.00 via UPS, insured for the full amount.


I believe these are priced to sell and I'm not looking for any trades.
Thanks.

The next one I have is marked Iberia Philippines

This is the best looking one of the bunch, nice polish to the blade.

The blade has some discoloration/black spots, there is no rust.

Blade steel is carbon, the fittings and guard are brass(brass needs to be polished)

This is a two handed sword, blade-heavy, I haven't used this one except testing it on a cardboard box. The blade will slice cardboard.

Well built, heavy duty piece, nothing rattles, guard, blade and fittings are all tight. Double edged blade, comes with a heavy duty leather scabbard with belt loop.

Overall length: 46"
Blade length: tip to guard: 33 5/8"
Stock thickness: 1/4"
Weight approximate: 5-6 lbs.

Price is 225.00> 195.00
Payment: Paypal is preferred or a postal money order will work.

Shipping will be 18.00 via UPS, insured for the full amount.


These would be great beginner swords for someone, don't let the low cost fool you, these are swords that will actually cut without breaking.
 
Price drop.

I'm motivated to sell these and I'm open to cash offers.

No trades please.
