look at the site folks, it is free to peek. If you want to buy, identify yourself as a Pelican for a discount.

I am back in the US for the Summer, heading back to Shanghai shortly for the day job.

Some do not have handles because they have gone missing or have rotted away. I try not to restore too many swords, it keeps cost down and prices affordable so the buyer could restore to their own taste. $100 and inch to polish and making a handle and scabbard the right way another couple of grand.

They cut great, but the user is more than half the equation.
