As promised in our last newsletter, I picked up the camera and the Bushido & Tamahagane Katana so here you go…. The Bushido (one of Paul Chen Swords) came back after a ‘trip’ to Poland where it was damaged during the transport (doesn’t happen very often but once in a while ) so we replaced it and does offer it now for 650 euro. The saya has some damage on the toppart and there are some scratches in the blade’s etching.
The second katana is a tamahagane katana that was made by a Chinese forge who doesn’t excist anymore. Too bad because their work wasn’t that bad at all but lot of forges in China these days does feel the bad economical situation and lot of them had to close their doors. Problem here is the counter polished kissaski, some black dots on the kissaski and a seppa that is a little loose.
If you’re interested in one of these 2, leave a reply right under this post here, send me a mail at dave@samurai-sword-shop.com or call me…don’t say you don’t have any options here

I really like that Tamahagane but the euro/usd conversion still puts it at $920 usd.

Overall good show -except- the sound cut off at the end of a segment at times. I wonder if Hanwei would replace the saya for that sword (for a fee of course). The tamahagene sword looks very nice too. I’m wondering if the loose part (seppa) would be fixed by replacing the habaki. I don’t know that much about katanas yet… Anyway, the video section of your site gets 5 stars. This video, because of the sound cut-out, only gets a 4. =(
