Holy *&^$#@ those are some awesome swords! That Black AK with the cool handle is incredible. Even the plainer black one is very nice. I used to think AK's were ugly compared to a traditional katana but your black one has changed my mind.
Rainwalker did an incredible job and I really like the way you peced those sheaths. That is the ultimate american Diasho you have their with the AK and Ruck.

AK's seem expensive compared to knives(not Busse knives though) but compared to other mostly inferior swords they are a screaming bargain. I had a Cheness 9260
blade sent away to have a custom handle tsuba and wrap done and it ended up costing about the same as a Busse AK with one of Rainwalkers sheaths and it still needs a a saya and hybrid polish to be finished. I do think it is better looking than the Busse though. My sword took about 8 months to get back to me though.
I wanted something that looked traditional but had a modern blade made of quality steel but if all I wanted was a sword to cut and practice with the Busse would have been a much better choice.


I did consider taking a AK and polishing the blade and cutting he handle down so I could fit a traditional handle. A traditional looking sword made of INFI made me dizzy with lust. What stopped me was not the expense or the cutting a 600$ Busse sword it was realizing how bloody long it would take to polish 3 feet of hardened INFI on both sides.
