5.0 out of 5 stars A captivating book, a must for all sword fans and smithys, 6 Oct 2001
The book shows an indepth history, science and evolution of the japanese sword with stunning art work depicting samurai in battle and the gentle mystical smithies in action. Blade design including shape, structure, physical properties and appearance are all carefully explained in a manor that is both understandable yet maintains and aura of mystery surrounding the magnificent and revered blades. A must for all sword fans and smithys.
