I can’t see the pictures… but if I did I’d probably agree with everyone else on their quality… and Dave (Admin) if you could send me those pictures that are on the site then it’d be appreciated and I’ll leave more feedback.

These outdoor pictures are quite good in fact. I especially like the one against the moss tree bark. Although I’ll have to agree with Dmitry on the comment that indoor pictures are usually more focused and have more detail of the blade *skin so to speak. Still, I appreciate the pictures and in order from top to bottom say that #1, #5, and #7 are quite excellent.

You have done a realy great job!The pictures are great even for amature
But I think there is no need in pics like that because indoor pics are still more detailed.
There is a lot of thing you cant see on outdoor pictures.But any way pics are great.

Hey Tom,

All of these katana are ‘standard sizes’..so the blades are between 73-77cm. Most of these tsuka measure 28-30cm. But your idea isn’t a bad one…altough it would ruin the picture a bit i believe..Were do you want us to show the difference between de indoor vs. outdoor pictures ?

Wow, really beautiful pictures. I am ashamed of the poor pictures that I sent you of the Katar.
The only thing that would be interesting to see as a neophyte with this type of sword would be something to be able to determine the length or relative size. Are they a standard length that most of the collectors would already know?
Another thought would be to also include some of the “standard” pictures which would intensify or distinguish the quality of the outdoor pictures. Hope some of that helps
