Except the grip was long of course... Good review Edward!

I have really enjoyed this thread and absolutly loved the review. So much so that I had decided to get one soon to play with. When I went to get one I thought of looking for it I thought of perhaps finding a better deal on ebay. That is where I ran across this one. It seems different and better quality than the one that trueswords has for sale.

I thought you guys might be interested in seeing it. There are more detailed and closer pics on ebay.

Nice review Ecovolo! Heck if it cuts tatami and stays together. can't be all that bad for the price. Yeah for just alittle extra effort they coulda made the wraps better. It's not stainless and don't have a plastic tsuka so why not, could be fun.

FYI this is the 'rough draft' of the review so to speak; the finished review I put in the "Reviews" section of this forum. It's a little more polished than this one . --Edward

Looks like a childish wallhanger, which is probably what it is.

That doesn't look like a katana either, thats some pathetic bastardisation of a tachi.

You have never seen the show? It is as close as you're going to get to Afro's katana; until someone makes a better one.

In case you didn't know, the show is anime so most of what you see is exaggerated; weapons and moves included.

Thanks

. I put a more polished review of the sword in the 'Reviews' section of the board; peruse it when you have a chance.
