I like neem! What a beauty!

 

[SamuraiDave]

I haven't had one talk to me like that one is in a long time. Too bad I am going on vacation next week.

 

[CallsThunder]

Villager and neem...hard to beat.

I'm not a "sword guy," but wondering...

how much does a carbon steel, hand-made, differentially-tempered, 29-30" sword go for these days?

I figure the different styles each have their own price range...but for a ?martial arts-style sword, what would be the ball -park price?



Seriously, any way of speculating?


Thanks.

The low-end will be around $150 or so for a screaming deal of an underpriced sword, up to thousands. This sword is far towards the lower end of an average price range a MA might expect to pay.

Email sent to Yangdu. Don't know yet if the Tarwar was still available.

That's a beautiful variation on the Tarwar by Vim. Little bit of a guard, little bit of a belly to the tip of the blade (at least in the photo). I bet that sends the balance a little forward and makes this one a wicked cutter on the first stroke.

The Tarwar was delivered here (New York) Monday morning. Yes, the balance is noticeably forward. Holding the sword with my hand as far forward on the handle as possible (the guard it big enough to let you safely and comfortably hold it this way), it still feels a bit too heavy to swing one handed.

A very nice sword. Not a slicer like a Katana. It's definitely more of a chopper.
