| From time to time, I indulge myself with big weapons. Most fall into this category. |

Leather sheath; diagonal (zigzag) pattern filing on spine, terminal flower bolt on pommel |  |
vine filing on spine, rhododendron carved into nickel silver pommel, guard is sodered mokume (copper/brass/nickel silver plates) |  |
"Nikolai Stefanovitch Compositov IV" = Nambam 2 - copper habaki, cast silver pommel & handle throat ring with dragon menuki and bahia grass seed embroidery, nickel silver guard with vine file pattern, blade spine with same, sheath with silver chape and throat ring with dragon menuki. This is a prize winning blade and is named as it is since it is a nickel-1095 twist composite of 4 bars with an O1 edge bar - and was made by me (Stephen=Stefan). This is one FANCY blade! |  |
