Shawn Leflar

Shawn "The Tip of That Juuuuusssst Got Me" Leflar is a host of the coin show on Art and Coin TV network. He is most notable for a clip in which he attempts to demonstrate the strength of one of the katanas he is selling by banging it against a wooden table-top. The katana snaps in half and a piece hits him in his midsection. [1] This clip was recently featured on VH1's Web Junk 20 as well as Ellen and the Jimmy Kimmel show.
