    Hello Sir,

    I have a very nice WWII Japanese officers Katana but the first 3mm are bent. Can you fix it or do you know someone who can? I live in Mobile Al but can send it anywhere.

    Thank you,

    Shay

      Hey Shay,
      You need to supply me with good clear pictures of the sword. scabboard, damaged area of the blade, the temper line on the edge, and blade tang; (remove the bamboo plug in the handle and gently tap the guard with a piece of 2×4 to expose the tang).
      With out this information I can’t make any worthwhile evaluation of the feasibility of repairing the sword.
      Send the pictures to robi5515@bellsouth.net
