    Foam pool noodles are another sub standard substitute for mats and bamboo. Good for beginners too. N

    This is what comes up when it comes to the end part of trying to donate.

    Here in Sydney the Chinese cheap reject type shops have them. But now even they are getting harder to find. It'll be only be bamboo that will be available for cutting soon I feel.

    It gives similar resistance to the mugendachi grade tatami (which is the lowest grade/softest resistance) however it doesnt compare to the used tatami omote and other higher grade tatami used in Japan. Even these beach are starting to become hard to find here down under!

    Welcome to the toyama and nakamura ryu family sir. Jeremy

    The Owner at mugendachi gave me this idea a few years ago, to get beach mats to feel more like tatami when cutting. Or should I say similar resistance when cutting . Roll about 3 beach mats and insert a 6mm-10mm pine dowel. Soak about 12 hours. Dry for an hour or so. This is what we have resorted to here in Australia. As well as fresh green bamboo. Jeremy

    I used to buy hanwei swords drom shawn salafia about 20 years ago ! He used to run a site called mantis swords, as far as i know he doesnt operate anymore . Jeremy

    You may also want to try Rick Polland at swordstore.com They have steel iaito which use Japanese fittings and the blades made in China. The feel is almost identical to shinsakuto, from the tsuka to the blade .

    Hey Ken, search function came up with heaps of oils that people use, I couldn't find a post which had the technical differences of tsubaki and choji oil. Is there a big difference in using either one?
  17. jeremy
    I also have started using tsubaki oil on my swords. David, what makes you say it's the best oil out of interest? Cheers Jeremy

    Probably try e-budo.com for these types of questions. Here in Australia there's no supply of any type of tatami omote hence we use beach mats and bamboo. Good luck in your search

    My shinsakuto has a similar "bend " after a decade of use. No problem with it cutting and sheathing.

    Holy damn! I had so many online conversations with the man since 2003. He took so much time out to reply to my sword related queries as best he could. Smart man . With a beautiful family. Im sorry Ted, and my heart goes out to his wife and daughter

    You should look into the process of exporting the sword out. It's not easy that's for sure. I think aoi art is located somewhere near Tokyo

    Email me at jezah81@gmail for more info and pics. I also have the aoi art appraisal. Will take a pic of it soon
