Jim Hrisoulas (Atar) $3000 Katana : Somethings Not Right

This is a video about a Atar/Salamander Armory/Jim Hrisoulas katana. Please keep in mind these are my opinions. There is no joy in calling this out and I hope I am wrong.

**
Update 6/5/24
The original owner contacted me. Meaning the person who sold the sword to sword friend Landon. They have validated that this sword was purchased from Jim directly. I am now confident that this work was sold by Jim Hrisoulas directly and is not a forgery of his work.
