i have about 22 full tang functional katanas, 3 are folded steal rest are duel forged high carbon. (been training for years in both iaijutsu and kendo)
then like 20 or so display katanas/ninjatos

my most recent purchases were custom made i.e. i send in a list of the type of blade i want w/ specs n' the guy spends bout 30 days forging it and ships it to me.. i assemble it.. the only thing that is pre'assembled is the habaki (or the brass metal piece that seperates the blade from handle).
