Nice katar, Lew. Looks like a good example at a good price.
I also like the seller very much. Runjeet. Posts often here.
Especially like what Jens said. "It does need some careful cleaning, but then again, it is half the joy, to learn to know the weapon the slow way."
This is a very true statement. I experience a real bonding with my pieces by cleaning, oiling and polishing them. If you listen carefully, they have stories to tell.
