Trademe money hungry, Katana for sale.

[Blackshear]

Firstly, I apologize for sorta throwing this in Rant&Rave.
I don't have any credit on TM, and I'd end up paying about $20 just to list the fucking thing. I am really, really broke.

I've somewhat had in my possession for nearly 2 years a (from what I know, a high quality/high carbon content) katana.
Purchased on trademe for around $210-220 off gengswords_nz, sat at home for a week and only cut through a couple water-filled milk containers. Like butter.

It was then found by mother dear and was taken by my granddad to Taranaki 'till 4 months ago.

It's very sharp, very strong and from a reliable source.

Comes with;
-Case
-Some cloth bag thing
-Sharpening stone (White, very fine grit)
-*Oil and cloths to clean it after use
-*Excess oil dabber filled with chalk
-*A cool hammer thing
-Wooden box to hold the above 3 items*
-Blade sheathe

There is a very slight surface rust appearing, but I'm pretty sure it can be removed from a few strokes of the stone.

Pickup can be Stillwater or Birkdale at request.

Asking for around $170.


If there's anything wrong with the placing of this 'advert', please inform before infractions :hug:

Lol. Nor me.

Yep - had me wondering at first, had to read it twice before I worked out it was a sword, then I could make sense of it

I was wondering about how they cut thru some milk containers like butter on their bike - and it just got a bit weird from there on in

the issue is that to most people on here (if not all) would look at your thread thinking you were selling a Suzuki Katana - as in a bike
It takes a bit of reading before you mind stops thinking WTF ..... and you realise it's an actual katana sword

Well in my defense, I did post this in a 'non-bike related' board.

Hmpf :laugh:

[imdying]

Bump for the 'not a motorbike but has the same name' thread.

[Slyer]

They should make a bike called a Shirasaya

Dude to clarify do you have the cert of authenticity for this item?
Should be in the case in Japanease.

[Slyer]

It's not authentic at all... that's not the point.
