Did you foget we had a Blog...? We sure did! :)
BIG CHANGES!!! Things are going to be changing at SabakuSamurai.com. Inspired by our swords, we are going to start making SabakuSamurai.com "cutting edge"... provided we don't get consumed with creating punny analogies. During this time we are hoping to make better use of the Sabaku Blog for great pics and posts. Check out our blog for old posts (there aren't many) and subscribe to get updates on new posts.

GASSAN from John Scott Slough's Oshigata Book!!!
Just back from polish by master polisher Jimmy Hayashi is another fantastic Gassan Sadakatsu. It has all the bells and whistles. This is the sword dreams are made of... but don't take this thing to bed cuz It'll cut you good...I have the scars to proove it. What can I say, the Sabaku Samurai lives life on the wild side!

Welcome
Welcome to Sabaku Samurai: Fine Japanese Weapons and Art, a site run by
goofy old farts with the unfortunate affliction of collecting Japanese swords
and related antiquities. Like most collectors we find that from time to time
we need to clear out the old to make way for the new. As E-bay has become
a minefield of fraud and scam artists we have decided to establish this website
as a safe haven to market pieces, share collection photos, network...etc.
We are also interested in buying and trading so let us hear from you...Comments
are almost always welcome.
Welcome Aboard!

GASSAN MANIA!!
2 Gassan Sadakatsu
Killer Piece #2!!!
The second has a cutting edge of only 6 7/10 inches long the second Sadakatsu blade is an absolute little gem. It is made in rare kiriha style and features exquisite horimono by Sadakatsu himself. One side features a dragon carved in deep relief and the other a perfect ken sword. Click Here to see more.
Kick Ass Kajiyama Yasunori
Recently a friend of mine acquired a very interesting sword that I want to share with you. I am fairly certain he got the sword for the soul purpose of making me green with envy. He succeeded. Click here to see pictures and description.
New!!! 3rd generation Rai Kinmichi with Kiku
Top Quality Full Polish! Tokubetsu Kicho papers were one step below Juyo. Kinmichi worked circa 1673. This blade is masterfully done in the style of an old slender tachi.
