Nice katana; for those who are curious, what ballpark price range would one be looking at for this?

As you had told me before Tom, the picture obviously does not do it justice. I cannot really see all the goodies the blade has to offer, but I trust Wally does a good job considering some of the friends he's got. Always helps to have the right advice.

Shinryû.
 
Hi , Thanks for posting a pic of one of my katanas. I will get you a good pic of one I just finished soon.
I will try to answer any questions any one has or tell you who to ask if I don't know.
I think a sword forum will be fun and might help share some light on a lot of stuff.
Cheers,
 
Welcome Wally.
It's a pleasure to see you here. For only being up a couple days it's great to see the sword makers that have decided to come here and offer their help and guidence.
I'm a big believer in investing your time and educating yourself before investing your money and with the swordsmiths that are starting to drop in it's beginning to look good for us collectors. Thanks to all of you for joining us.

I look forward to some better pics of your work.

What are some of the shows that you attend? It would be nice to be able to see the swords in person.
