I say the fudo handachi because I'm interested in it myself. But if that's out than I'd like the uryuu.

What happened to reviewing them all? When did you, Marc, lost interest in just...doing all of them? Lets face it right now...in the end, you'll just do every single one you get your hands on.
Why?
Because its your job and you love your job more then you love to breathe.

Wow...I want every single one of those. The prices on them are amazing too. The only thing I don't get is the Yoshitaka. It's listed as Shobu Zukuri, but has a yokote. Anyways, I love them all! Whichever you decide to review, I can't wait.
Gah, if I wasn't waiting for the KI, UBC cutter, and a custom commission, I'd be all over those, the prices are amazing! I NEED MORE MONEY!

Hi Marc,
I voted for the Yoshitaka 'cuz it is the only one I am likely to be really interested in. BUT, I love those sexy saya on the Uryuu and the Chisaigatana, so that makes the Chisaigatana a close second.
I am looking forward to seeing the review for which ever one you pick.

Voted Oni Chisaigatana, just cuz I like the look of it.
Like most of the readers out there, I look forward to whatever you review. So have fun.

Ok... Well I combined the results of this poll and another... looked at the numbers... and completely ignored them I have a Oni no Tsume Chisaigatana on the way to review.. after that I'll do the handachi and yoshtaka not necessarily in that order.... Not sure yet is I'll do a Uryuu review... as I believe the Uryuu will be almost identical to the Matsu. which I have already reviewed....

I can't wait, all those models are very enticing!
Off topic, but what I'd really like to see from Kensei would be an odachi that had tori-sori(evenly spread? I think that's the right one) all the way through the tsuka. That would be a beast I'd buy in a heartbeat!
