* banging hands on table*

fren getting me a katana from pg this weekend. called me up to ask what color adi .. yahoo!!!

post pic when i get it.

get from the kok lok si temple shops. blue color. will post pics with review when i receive it tmr. katana with stand =rm 100. suppose to receive it today but he's not free do see me.

here's the review of the katana that can be bought at the kok lok shi temple.

the length of the whole sword is around 3ft plus and weighs around 2lb give or take. it's roughly the weight of the bar on those spinlock dumbbells or my parang ilang. first thing that strikes you is it's long and quite heavy. drawing the blade makes you gasp. it's shinny and has those waves and looks darn sharp (but isn't). not sure what the handle is made of (most probably wood) but the scabbard is wood. the caps are plastic though but looks like steel. the guard is metal and of course the blade too.

this is the picture of the handle still wrapped in plastic



this is the picture of the scabbard (saya) still wrapped in plastic



this is the picture of the stand (katana-kake). it's a 3 piece snap on.



unwrapping it we get this...

partly drawn and undrawn blade details near the guard (tsuba)



detail of the handle (tsuka)


detail of the sageo

mounted on the katana-kate. should be facing left though. you can compare the length to the cpu below (thats a mid tower atx casing)



detail of the blade. you can see the faint reflection of the camera phone.



sorry for the bad picture quality. used a camera phone nokia 7260

^ can pass off as metal to me. check out pic of the sword half drawn and compare the caps against the guard.

but if you pull out the caps (for whatever reason) and look inside you can see it's plastic (or maybe im just not that particular ). i don't dare remove the caps on the scabbard end or the handle end - later kenot put back die. i only removed the one where the scabbard meets the guard.


but trust me, it doesn't look fake.

^ he didn't pay attention. at foot of the hill. easy to spot coz selling all kinds of knives, swords, etc. lots of variations and color. got a 4ft. katana, one that opens left and right from the scabbard, wakizashi, etc.

yeap.

don't even wanna know what the cost price is

Rusty got his 3 set katanas yet?

aiseh. looks like edogawa is the only hope left

looking forward to new reviews.
