These are the kinds of scenes I worry about most - I'm always positive someone's going to come along and nail me for 'getting it wrong.' Because, of course, I ain't no sword expert. Never had one. Never held one. I wasn't even sure if you could have a shirasaya with more than two swords (but, hey! it's the future, right).Cary Caffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497153478198948932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905558804176895087.post-46972456862932345902013-07-06T16:20:59.818-07:002013-07-06T16:20:59.818-07:00Wow!

And the description really works. <br /><br />I was recently at the home of a sword collector. He had, above his mantelpiece, a rack of katanas almost exactly as described in the snippet. Two modern ones, expensive and well made, and yes, probably with composite scabbards. Below them was a real treasure- an antique katana made of hand folded steel, a wooden scabbard,and the maker's mark on the blade! It's really cool when an author can use detail in a setting to draw memories from the reader's own mind.

Nice ...I so want a katana. I have real fakes...poo.<br />Nice little snippet. The 'ambiance' gives off a nice homey feel. Love the descriptions...especially 'unsullied'. (Been watching too much Game of Thrones, have you?) <br /><br />Leta, that's what I thought too. Immediately!
