He may appear gruff and tough, but Howard Clark has the soul of an artist. He was reluctant to reveal his ABS Master Bladesmith rating, as he preferred his work to speak for himself. His blades have been winning acclaim within Japanese sword arts circles who enjoy the price-performance factor of his work. Some may dismiss his work as "non-traditional". Others... have drawn similarities between his work and that of traditional Japanese bladesmiths.

Howard Clark, Sr., had a strong awareness of history and carefully protected and preserved important documents for future generations. Though the books are now fragile and the writing is faded, the records he kept for the Mount Zion Methodist Church, Pleasant Valley Cemetery Association, and the Loudoun County Emancipation Association provide a glimpse no only into his character but into the era in which he lived.

Howard Clark made the billet of steel for the tsuba by "rolling up" a large piece of antique wrought iron. Then he "sliced off" a piece to make the tsuba from. Amazing to see this whirling vortez in the tsuba in the right light. Also amazing that he could do all of that so beautifully. The fuchi and kashira are made from the same material and similarly show a marvelous patterning.
