About 4 years ago I bought my first Katana and Wakizashi. It was of good quality, but nothing special about the construction as the Practical Katana from Hanwei was created for practising and not really for any aesthetical value. When I left for Canada I sold it to a friend.

Recently due to fluctuations in the Higgs field, I needed to continue my quest for collecting the most valued weapon of all time (personal opinion). Here are some photos.

Blue Orchid Daito, Wakazashi and Tanto.
