Totally understand the maiden name thing, smart to keep some things off the net.

What type of sword is it? I've been lusting after Japanese swords since I was a wee tyke. I've always wanted one but after doing research it's cost prohibitive and really not practical for me to get a real one.

I did have no problem getting the chef knife I posted up though. Made by an old sword maker and practical as a kitchen knife.

Jack away, I have never minded threadjacking.

Funny that you mentioned knife making. My cousin is building a forge in his backyard for knife making. I have a few railroad spikes I've been saving for a while in case I ever had the chance to make my own blades.

My ex-wife was from Japan, so I've spent some time there. At our local swap meet there's a guy who has tons of movie knock-off samurai swords. I wanted the Hittori Hanzo sword from Kill Bill, but up close it didn't look that great. The best looking one to me was the sword Tom Cruise used in the Last Samurai. I got it and a display holder + the sheath for $25. Obviously it's not real, and unsharpened, but the guy scratches the metal in a way that makes the blade look real enough... and it does have a somewhat sharpened point on it and it's heavy. You could do some damage with it, if you intended to.

I really want a zatoichi style sword since I was introduced to it reading Usagi Yojimbo. More practical than a fancy sword as well. I've seen a few on amazon that are inexpensive but I really don't expect much for not a lot of money. If I'm going to do it I will do it right and get a true blade, not a wall decoration.

I have an autographed copy of Usagi Yojimbo that a friend of my ex got for me at one of the Comic Cons (I think it was in Chicago - not San Diego). Anyway, it's got bad mojo for me, so if you want it, I'll give it to you.

Damn, that would be awesome. I stopped collecting a while back but I still have most of my books.

Hit me up in PM when you get a chance.

I came from a family of machinists and millwrights. I knew how to weld before I knew what my wee-wee did. I come from a over-engineering German family. Whatever was needed to accomplish it, double it.

Unfortunately the family shop went under. By the time I was of legal working age it was gone.  :cry:

I still love to make things and work with my hands.
