I have an interesting piece from Rob Criswell. It's a Chisa Katana. Only ever seen a few of these. 24" blade and 11.5" tsuka. Has a really beefy kissaki. Pretty sure the blade is .25" thick but it looks like it might be a hair thicker. I'll measure it to be sure later. Has a little wear but is in overall 98%. Super cool sword. This is one of his earlier models where the 550 cord terminated in a loop at the end instead of his later bullet shaped G10 pommels. The previous owner glued leather on the kydex sheath. It's ok lookin but I don't like it. Sheath holds via friction. It holds good... but I wouldn't go jogging with the sword upside down on your back. Sword has a very gentle curve to it. Looks almost straight bit it isn't. This sword is what I'd consider the perfect size. I'm not looking to trade it because I don't like it. The only thing I'm looking to trade for is a Criswell Wakizashi that is a close enough match for the one I currently have. Mine has close to 16" blade and a 7.5" tsuka. Always wanted two of these for obvious reasons (One for each hand). So this is a shot in the dark but you never know unless you try. I will be picky cause I want as an exact a match as possible.
I can get better pictures if you have what I'm looking for...
Here are a few pics of my waki to show you what I'm looking for...
