Here they are – the very last Kaneie swords, so rare that they were never even listed before…
Two models – both with premium Kaneie fittings and T-10 tool steel, differentially hardened blades – one from the Okuden collection, which have a basic polish, and one from the Menkyo collection, with a full art polish..
The only catch apart from how few are actually available (7 in total) – some minor cosmetic flaws that set them apart as scratch and dents – so we have priced them to SELL at less than HALF price..! (much less, over 60% off!).
On the elite Menkyo Royal Blue Musashi Katana, the rayskin falls just short of full length, exposing a little wood as shown in the picture below:
Tiny gap in the rayskin near the handle..
They may also have some minor scratching on the saya:

The MSRP on this sword is $1,400 – the scratch and dent price, a crazy $599.99 with FREE SHIPPING.
The Okuden collection Tastumaki swords do not have any problems with the rayskin, however all of the sayas are slightly blemished and there may be a small spot of rust on the back of the blade (mune):

The actual swords
The Tatsumaki, MSRP $800 – the S&D price – an insane $329.99 with FREE SHIPPING!
Otherwise, the swords are in pristine condition and the discount for these defects really quite excessive.. However, we got them at a fantastic price, so why not pass it on for a lucky few..
There are only 7 swords in total available, and once they are gone – that’s it.
As such, best to grab them while you can..
It looks like the latest incoming batch of the Hanwei Forges’ Raptor Series Katana were on the ship before they had a chance to address the Quality control issue with the slightly short Rayskin..
