...Too bad the bride already got him.

This came in the mail today for me, courtesy of Cheness, inc. I've waited to buy this for about 9 months, but I couldn't afford it up until now:

Mine is the "Ichi Maru"" model. It's not a heavy-duty sword, but it is designed for cutting.

The full sword


Closeup of the handle. Genuine rayskin, blackened steel tsuba. Full tang handle secured by two wooden pegs.

Blade closeup The edge is fully sharpened. The hamon is acid-etched, but differential tempering is not necessary these days because our metal refinement is so good.

So.... post the last thing you bought over the internet.

That's pretty sweet.

Hmm, the last (and the only) thing I've bought online were the first 4 Transmetropolitan comic book graphic novels (Back On The Street, Lust For Life, Year Of The *******, and The New Scum).

Her name is Beatrix Kiddo

Is it light?

And since when did the Chinese start making Katanas?

Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids.
