Subscribed. If I ever become rich, I'm buying from you, definitely.

[Frellingyotz]

An Absolutely Beautiful Sword.

When I upgrade to a serious blade I'll be buying from you.

[Hazamayakiba]

@Frellingyotz ...Thank you for the good news !

[mrHowlll]

could someone fight with that?

[Hazamayakiba]

@mrHowlll ...Some questions need no answers.

[driftworld86]

iunno why english-speakers pronounce the last "e" as "ee" (as in, eat)... it's pronounced as is, as e (in, elephant).... so it's supposed to be sound "o ba ke" (as in kevin), not "o ba ki".... just saying as i see a lot of mistakes...

[CNCx83]

Amazing blade sir. I'm a collector and I would like to know a little more about your swords. Can you email me? Che_Coleman@yahoo.com

[Britoe97]

One of the most finest samurai blades/ katana's I have witnessed. But do you make any nihontos?

[Hazamayakiba]

@Britoe97 ... Brit...a small amount of detailed research will prove beyond any doubt that Japan is utterly devoid of the natural resources neccessary to make nihonto grade tamehagane or high carbon steel sword blades. Japan buys their steel from China, so when an sword collector "investor" buys an entry level brand new nihonto for, say, $8,000 to $15,000 .... what he's buying is the sword smith's talents and steel from China. Believe it...or not !

Check it out to make sure I'm not fibbing !

It's hard to find swords these days that still have the essence of the art they used to be. Thank you, Haz for keeping this art alive today.

[Hazamayakiba]

@softndsmooth ... Mr. SoftNsmooth... your comment is probably the best compliment I could ever hope to receive. thank you, Haz.

Shape shifting= outer space

Once again the black obake 2 wins my heart. I can see a few differences between this and the first one. Btw, those words that was carved into the sword, it is japanese kanji?

[Darkestsides]

May I first start off for saying that is the finest looking Katana I have seen you produce so far. I have a quick question though, do you create Wakizashi's and Tanto's as well?

[Hazamayakiba]

@Darkestsides ...Wakizashi...yes... Tanto (tanton)...no due to lack of demand. Haz

[Darkestsides]

@Hazamayakiba Thanks for answering my question Haz, Have a nice day.

[Hazamayakiba]

@Darkestsides ... Mr. "Dark"...you are most welcome ! Haz

[drako897]

In my opinion by far the best looking sword you've made. great job ^_^

[Hazamayakiba]

@drako897 ... I appreciate that DRAKO !

[KatideChaos]

Seriously, these swords get better and better every time. This looks incredible pure, (trying to pick the right word here). Just incredible man...

[Hazamayakiba]

@KatideChaos ... KC...you always manage to make my day. Thanks buddy. Haz

[KatideChaos]

@Hazamayakiba I just speak the truth man! you should be more than proud of these babies, I mean sheesh! If I could I'd buy all of them xD

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

Stunning

[Hazamayakiba]

@bamboo4tameshigiri ... You are a man of few words Bamboo, but every word you speak holds great power. Gotta love that clarity of mind & spirit. Buyu, Haz

[indoom666]

long time no speak haz.. Nice sword.

[Hazamayakiba]

@indoom666 ...It's always great to hear from you Mr. "DOOM" ! I though you escaped to some South Pacific Island, to bum-out on the beach, drinking spiked coconut drinks with island babes. Glad you've decided to write. Haz

[indoom666]

@Hazamayakiba one can only wish friend. one can only wish... in reality i was getting rather sick.. figured out it was malnutrition. So im doing good now :)

[Hazamayakiba]

@indoom666 ... Ugh...that must have been a drag...eh? Glad you are feeling better. Now go eat a big bowl of Spaghetti & Meatballs !!!

[indoom666]

@Hazamayakiba indeed, depression has past.. and now im starving! ive got an idea, for a Katana you perhaps could make. i would not like to buy it as i cannot, but if you could gain profit off it id be happy to share my idea :)

[Hazamayakiba]

@indoom666 ...I'm always open to a good idea regarding sword designs, however, no promises that I'll ever be able to accomplish your dream weapon. Thanks for offering an assist. Haz
