I'm a lifelong craftsman in various materials, as well as a forester.  My family has connections in the orient (mostly China) going back over a century, so I grew up in a home with many Chinese and Japanese crafts and artworks.  I've been fascinated by nihonto because of the beauty of their metalworking for more than 40 years, and finally recently took the plunge and bought a mystery wakizashi - I'll be posting on it once I receive it.
