    If you are going to develop your collection, and develop means to get higher quality blades, you have to sell your lower blades or you accumulate and don't sell anything ( and possibly waiting longer for a new purchase). Pay twice, with a loss selling and with more to pay for the new ones. Be sure that "hobby" is the love of your live... Best Regards

    In case of fittings and other samurai stuff they stand for faithful manners. There singing reminds to the Japanese word for "faithful".( Tschu, tschu, ...). They are also sponteanous and quick in action, so not so seldem we see them as a menuki and F/K theme. Best Regards
