Glad to hear that this sword turned out to be much better than I had expected. Tight ito too, and a blade that's not whippy at that length is really impressive. That it's even balanced well enough to be comfortable in a single hand is even more impressive. Guess I'll be rocking out to one winged angel sometime soon lol

Will you be posting images? Interested to see how the odachi looks, especially at that price point. I wonder if Musashi's nagamaki would be just as good.

Guess I'll be rocking out to one winged angel sometime soon lol Haha, I have a friend who's a huge Final Fantasy fan. The first thought I had when I pulled it out was "Now where can I get a black trench coat and long silver wig...." Keep in mind, the blade does flex pretty easily. When you swing it back and forth (holding it with the spine and edge on the Y axis - straight up and down) the tip bends out about 5-6 inches either way. And when swinging it around, there is definitely flex - but it doesn't feel whippy. Will you be posting images? Interested to see how the odachi looks, especially at that price point. I wonder if Musashi's nagamaki would be just as good. Yeah, I'll take a few shots and post them. My camera's not that great though, so I can't promise high quality.

Thank you for the pictures. That's pretty amazing. Your mini-review's very cool as well. I know there's not many choices out here for an odachi, but this one looks excellent.

Recently sold my Miao Dao. Sadly international shipping would make it too much of a problem to ship out, but it was an awesome sword and one of my most beastly cutters.

Wow Crocc... that's one nice looking sword. And you go that beast for $100?! May I ask whom you commissioned it from?
