Howard Clark is well known for his L6 Bainite swords. However, not as many know that Howard first made his mark on the Japanese sword world with his high performing and stunningly unique 1086 katana. This katana was tougher than most anything else on the market. And the hamon Howard Clark would get on these swords befit his mastersmith status. And this sword is no exception. Where his L6 blades have a sedate, undulating hamon, this sword has a wild, hard to describe hamon with so much to see.

The blade's shape is shinogi zukuri with a chu kissaki.

asking $6,000 or Best offer for this now rare blade as Howard is now not taking any new orders
