Wakizashi and Edo period Tsuba - Caleb Royer photo added!!

Sorry to have missed this......flawless and stunning execution.......maybe one of these days my friend. :)
 
The other day, I received an email with this superb photo of the Wakizashi attached. I've read over and over how photographing swords is difficult but Caleb Royer sure did a great job. I'm very excited by this and have been dying to post it. Thanks for the photo Jon.

Kudos to Caleb for such a wonderful photo and really tying all the elements together. You've really captured the "whole".

Oh yeah Stuart! That photo really does the sword justice. Great work on the sword and the photo. Caleb did an excellent job. He is getting really good.

I am at a loss for words but I would say if you see a path in front of you follow it and show some others the way very very nice.
 
Awesome, awesome Wakizashi! I love the hamon on that blade and the rest of the elements tie together nicely to make a really well done sword. Good work!

Nice looking Royer pic too! :D
