    Some people, thankfully few. thrive on discord and bashing. They are soon, for some, and later, for others, exposed. Social media magnifies their effects. I accept nothing of social media until a consensus of sorts by my accepted peers. We all know to whom respect should be given. John

    Ebota is it not? I am not in favour of wax nor oil on iron/ steel tsuba. The magnetite surface is inhibited by a coating and it is this that gives these type of tsuba their most desirable trait. John
