Hello to all, another newbie here. Ive been stalking around for a few weeks and found out just how much I dont know about Nihonto. Having said that, I really am amazed to learn that decent blades can be had for much cheaper than I originally assumed. My goal is to learn all I can now, and within a year purchase my first Nihonto. Preferably with guidance from the board members, and from a member here as well to avoid a beginner's mistake. I have much to learn first, but looking foward to the journey.
Having said all that, what would be a good first book to purchase that would give me a good solid start towards learning more about Nihonto? Something akin to a "Dummies guide to Nihonto" may be suitable lol. Tha ks to any recommendations in advance.
