Yes, Ebon Paladin, you did indeed spot a Samurai 3000 Katana there. Lots of people here don't like it because they see it as nothing but another SLO, but it is one of my 2 best bottle cutting swords. I have always loved how sharp I can get the edge on it, and the weight of the metal in the handle brings the POB closer to the hand and makes it handle quite lively The same goes for the Samurai 3000 Tanto, which is misnamed IMO, and should be considered a Wak or at least an O-Tanto Of course, I never cut hard targets with either of the Samurai 3000 blades It would be cool if there were good carbon steel versions of them Cheers, Mike

Ok, I'm jumping to the end of this thread after reading the first two pages.... I own 15 Native American flutes and one Hanwei Side Sword + a Solingen dagger. The only reason I don't own 15 swords and one NAF is that I started buying the flutes first. BTW: Over on the Flute Portal forum, their version of this affliction is referred to as Acquireflutitis. I'm sure it's caused by the same virus. ;D

Gearloose, you're right, only over here we call it SAS - sword acquisition syndrome - you just cannot help it; its almost a malady for some. Like swordmonger7 over there....LOL
I laugh, but inside I'm green with envy!
