Well, this really may be a point of contention. The 1930 line is one drawn by Cato in his book Moro Sword, for bettter or for worse the only specific book on the subject to date. I believe we have...

I dunno Kai Wee, you may not think this one is too pretty, but it does seem to be pretty special. It has wonderful talismanic symbols etched on the blade and is that not fossilized elephant molar as...
