For Sale: Chenness Higo Katana, discontinued production

[hesinraca]

I posted this in SFI and I know no one here is currently trying to assemble an asian set, but if you find anyone who wants this, they don't make them anymore, and it's a very nice sword.

Here's the SFI post:

This is for a Chenness Higo Katana as pictured here: http://www.chenessinc.com/laminated.htm.

I received the sword as a gift a long while ago and with support from the person who gifted it am now selling it to make money for sword purchases.

The sword is in perfect condition having been in the box or on display briefly over the last 5 years. It has undergone one cut test (cabbage) and is still razor sharp.

excellent balance and good handle length for traditional aikido weapons forms as well as other styles.

Comes with the original box and sword-sock. I'd prefer to ship within the USA, but am willing to negotiate. Buyer pays shipping. The sword was selling for 230USD retail before it was discontinued, so I was hoping to get 200USD for it. Thanks for looking!
