38 and female and have had an interest in bladed weapons since college. I own none of value (yet) but have a few decorative pieces on the wall and accenting various shelves and bookcases. I saw the Nova special "Secrets of the Samurai Sword" and bought the book The Japanese Sword: A Comprehensive Guide by Kanzan Sato which inspired me focus more on Nihonto. (But I'd never turn my back on a good old-fashioned claymore! )

Hello everyone! I've had a keen interest in swords and daggers for quite some time with an emphasis on Japanese swords as art objects. I don't own any at present, I would need to spend much more time dedicated to studying them to feel comfortable even thinking about buying one. Perhaps someday... I'm eager to have a look around and hopefully learn a lot from you guys. Cheers!
