Kevin Colwell Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Jesus, that is now one of my favorite swords. Especially the saya (?) is really beautiful. Just a great piece, and the themes hold it all together very well. please visit my website http://www.professorsforge.com/ “Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” E. V.
