For a around $800 you can get a gladius made by Busse ,the coated blade and for some extra $ you can get a satin finish one . Sure INFi steel is not "living" and is not touched by angels but is very apreciated by many . You can buy an Albion sword , there are many options .But please tell me that is a joke that you payed $2800 for a hammer . Is it Thor's hammer ? This is crazy ! Does is have gold or jewels on it ? For $ 40-50 you can get a war hammer from Cold Steel . A hammer is just a hammer ,is not a sword ,it was a poor's man fighting tool .

Just as a point of information, although impact weapons were definitely in use by the peasantry by a certain point in the evolution of armor they were also in use by the nobility. A sword was nearly useless against top of the line armor of the day. Having said that, I agreethat impact weapons are typically (although not always) not as time consuming to produce as swords and one would expect them to have a relatively cheaper price.

In general I do shy away from saying that any particular item is over priced. If there is a customer willing to pay the money... then apparently it wasn't. :) I think we might be better served to note that we would not pay that price because it is not worth it to us.
 
I guess there's no such thing as bad publicity... this thread made me so curious as to visit the angelsword website, where the videos apparently don't work and a flex test is supposed to prove toughness, but if they can really achieve 250 ftlb in a charpy test at RC57 that is impressive.

By all means, please do post pictures. The most important thing is that you yourself are satisfied with your purchases, and you certainly haven't offended anyone! :)

I personally just know I'd be buying an Angus Trim, Michael "Tinker" Pierce, or John Lundemo piece if I had that kind of money.

I have a $45.00 Cold Steel war hammer and I have done all kinds of damage with it. It was made by magical Taiwanese elves out of specially killed drop forged steel. I was fortunate to obtain one from Ancient Timez, in the legendary days before the dreaded set screw hole appeared to vex us.

That probably gives it a +1 to hit.
 
If you're going to seriously consider an expensive katana, spend some time on Sword Forums. Visit a local iaido dojo ... although they don't use actual katanas, many teachers are quite knowledgeable.

You'll have to decide whether you're willing to let an American smith do the work, or whether you want the 'real deal.' Either path will not be easy or simple.

Do your research work up front, very carefully. It's easy to get scammed.

EDIT: Might also try posting on the custom knives sub-forum here. There are custom collectors here who do understand katanas. If you catch their ear/eye, they have a lot they can share.

Just because it is "Iai", don't mean they don't cut, OP. True, lotta Aiki dojos that use the sword don't cut, and true, a fair amount of "do bunnies" don't cut....but I'd say almost 1/2 of the iai dojos in the US are incorporating SOME cutting into their repetoire, and many are doing it with Japanese blades.

When we started out at my dojo, we all learned MJER Iai Heiho, then we did MSR Jodo, we have integrated Muso Shinden Ryu Batto-Jutsu, and for the last 4 years we have trained in Ono Ha Itto Ryu Kenjutsu. We have 14 year olds who can cut quite proficiently.

Best Regards,

I support the free flow of information....but it isn't free to maintain BladeForums. If someone has a general question, I'll help out.

If it is something in my range of "expertise" and there is research required, possibly names and addresses requested, there will be nothing from my end if the originating question comes from a non-paying member.

Looks like we have a paying member! So, why don't we treat him nice...

Just sayin'... Maybe we can help him figure out how to post a pic.

I usually just upload an attachment using the advanced feature for posting.
