So if someone will start a collection, or someone will restart a new collection there is the sword. No dealer provisions, a sensei on your side, to quide and advise you.

And if it happens in Europe, sure that Jean will be also happy to visit his former sword and broke a bottle with the new owner. I did it exact the same way and I could not be more happy..
