Hello all.
I have been reading this forum for quite some time now and I feel it is time to get legit and register. I have a few interests that occupy my free time, but studying the Japanese Katana has taken up the most and has held my interest for years. I do not have a Nihonto, but I did have one four years ago. Unfortunately I had to sell it to support my lifestyle. That is one decision I have been regretting ever since. I hope to acquire a nice piece in the future, but for now high end production pieces have been satisfying my interests. I also do some custom work on production swords, the tsuka mostly. I enjoy "dressing" them up a bit and transforming their look to something more aesthetically pleasing. Anyway I shall not bore you by rambling on. I hope to lean even more from the knowledge pool here. Thanks!
