Thankyou for the link....nicely 'laid out' and informative
Thanks Katana
Obviously swords are martially/military obsolete, that is why we can indulge in this area of creative work.
Thanks for the kind words. The blade is very nicely balanced and very very sharp. Jesus Hernandez is a Shinkendo teacher and our correspondence helped make the rest.

This is somehow a result of other speculative designs such as this one



or this one whose blade came from Aranyick



Nice wood work on all I think It is an important part of it.
