His international reputation stands as a testament to the fact that Scott is one of the definitive designers and craftsmen fo this special art form today."

from Scott Slobodian: "Many years ago, a Japanese-American friend took me to see his family's old and treasured samurai sword. After committing every breach of sword-viewing etiquette and running my fingers all over the blade, I wanted to know why an old sword commanded so much reverence and respect. Later, armed with a little knowledge, I became enchanted.

About this time, my wife brought an East Asian Studies degree to the relationship. She studied in Japan. The Shogun exhibit was also touring the country. I was primed.

Musashi, who was Japan's greatest swordsman, was also a great painter, poet, writer, and ceramicist. My love of making things, from models of cars, planes and boats, jewelry, furniture, guns and sculputure coalesced into the Samurai Sword. I truly value the blending of old steel technology, fish skins, rare woods, silk and fine jewelry into a cohesive work of art.. the Japanese Sword!"
