 "The Howard Clark L6 Bainite Katana" DVD

Is available

We have both DVD and VHS ready to ship. This 27 minute film, produced by Applied Art and Technology in Des Moines, IA is a high quality film that gets very intimate with the L6 bainite katana made only by Howard Clark. You will hear from Ted Tenold of Legacy Arts, Keith Larman of Summerchild Polishing, Mike Blue DO who is a bladesmith in his own right as well as good friend and soul mate to Howard, Big Tony Alvarez of Senpokan Dojo who is, in our unhumble opinion, the number one competitor world wide in sword arts and cutting competition, James Williams president of Bugei Trading Company, Inc. and of course Howard Clark himself. You will see great cutting by James Williams, Big Tony and Mike Blue. Finally you will see normal target cutting and ultimate destruction of a fully polished and mounted L6 blade that had cracks down the spine of the blade from the start. This has been an absolutely awesome project and we are excited to be able to offer you this film.
