FOUR AWSUM BLADES BY THE TOP THREE GENDAI SWORD MAKERS!!
A Bubba of the Sabaku Samurai has decided to downsize some dead wood from his personal collection and has condescended to let us show them off to our discerning and erudite audience of mindless followers. If he's getting rid of THESE can you imagine what he's KEEPING?! Swords of this caliber don't hit the public market very often. Usually they are sold clandestinely directly from one greedy collector to another in secret back room deals before anybody knows they are available. Well, our back room is full of trash and we can't get in there which is good news for you because the Sabaku Samurai is thrilled to offer the world four AMAZING swords by three of the top makers of the twentieth century. Click the pictures above for more images and details if for no other reason than to just enjoy some great eye candy! (and keep your hands on your keyboard where I can see them!!)
If you are interested in these swords email wpgseton@hotmail.com or call (480) 982-5256

BIG CHANGES!!! 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.
oooooh pretty....
GASSAN MANIA!!
2 Gassan Sadakatsu
Killer Piece #1!!!
I am thrilled to be able to showcase two wonderful blades by this master. The first is quintessential Gassan, a spectacular 26 3/4 inch katana made in perfect ayasugi hada in fresh polish by master polisher Takeo Seki.Click Here to see more.
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.
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!
GASSAN GONE WILD!!!
I have another awsum Gassan Sadakatsu to show. It don't get much better than this! Very rare kogarasu style tanto in ORIGINAL polish, in original DOUBLE presentation boxes, in original sword bag, original habaki, signed and dated with NBTHK Hozon papers. Flawless, Perfect.
