Rick Barrett Forge-Folded Katana
Purchasing a new computer and putting a new roof on my house has forced the sale of this piece from my own collection. I received this blade from Rick last year, and has the hints of one of the nices hamon I've seen on Rick's work. The blade is Rick's standard forge-folded material. The blade is currently in Rick's standard machine grind finish (approx. 240 grit or so), and has the edges sharpened. The nakago has been filed, and has Rick's signature.
