Greetings all on the forum,

Of all the things I've posted this by far causes me the most pain. After a long period of consideration and cursing, I have decided to put my 1086 Howard Clark San Mai Wakizashi up on the block. It is untouched, unmounted, with a binsui (basic polish) to it. It is very beautiful now and I can only imagine how it would look with a proper polish and mounting. The fact of my goal of a Vendel Period Norse Reenactment group has put finances directed towards that area and I have relagated my beloved wakizashi to an unmounted place in my basement for a long period to come. Such a fate is unworthy of the blade.

I have set my introductory asking price at $2500.00 which includes shipping and insurance. This is negotiable, but only so far. I will accept check or money order.

If interested, please PM me and I will add pictures soon.

Cheers,
Derek Estabrook
