EMail if you have a spare 460!!!!

Tony not many around I've seen a couple sell on BF for $275 to $350 (with factory sheath) in the last few weeks. (Plus shipping etc etc!) Still lots better than a FBM if the fella selling it is legit'!

Woa!
that's not as much as i thought it'd be!
i woulda guessed it went for more $ than FBM!

That's cause they are so [censored] good. And as much as the Asymmetrical edge looks thrown off...that thing chops with a Vengence!

was Asymmetrical just more cost-effective to do?
still not sure why/how it gives a chopping advantage..

I think one side is flat ground the other is convex, but I could be wrong! (Katanas were traditionally only sharpened on one side of the grind)
