Thanks
It's a kind of WIP - I am looking to make a more 'specific' one at the moment..
No Katanas in the UK now - you are not allowed to buy them as from last month... more Nanny-State Government...

OK I have become more precise now:
The Katana is a Japanese sword which was in use from around 987 ad until the end of WW2.
The name Katana originally meant any single edged sword, but was later adopted to mean specifically the curved long sword or nihontō.
The Katana used by the Samurai was usually with a short sword, a Wakizashi or Shōtō. The wakizashi were used as backup weapons and as tools to decapitate defeated enemies, and sometimes to commit ritual suicide.
This example is a Katana signed by: Hizen no Kami Fujiwara Hirosada.
The Blade Length is: 70.9 cm.
Year of Manufacture: 1684.
Forging Pattern: Ko-Itame.
Tempering Pattern: Suguha.

Thank you!
Half the battle is observation - I looked at what I did before, then the photo, and saw that I wasn't really drawing the thing as it was..
