Mac, you need another basket-hilt to cure you of this katana affliction.  But they are pretty.

It's cool to see that little Chokuto I made again.
My Mom actually really digs that one, I made it in her shop.
Wow, I forgot how nice of a collection Tom had...some real premium Clarks, looks like some Mills, and I "think" I see a Michael Bell piece there?
In any case, fine collection.

It sure is. Almost as good as a similar collection of real "Man Swords".
Really neat stuff Tom.

Some of those do indeed look familiar for some reason.  That's Tom G.'s stuff is it not ?

That's quite the gorgeous collection. Looks like a prime example of how well years of patience can arm you.
Great pics, Mac, and beautiful collection, Tom!

Is Tom Lurking about? You know thats not just any old collection Tom does much of his own mounting and some polishing aswell. Those pics are pretty old and out dated I don't see any of my blades there

Well, the way he learnt me to remember it was thus, GE US zoo, or Geusz. And yeah, he did almost all the polish and mount on those, I think. I tried to talk him into doing this as a vocation, but he has another skill that he is extraordinary with (photorealistic painting) and it pays better too, dang it. 
I need to call him sometime, just for the hell of it to talk. Tom if you are lurking about, nice stuff, and let's see an updated pic or two with some of Patrick's stuff in it !
