ok, cool! thanks for the advise i'll try to start off with a book / info about nihonto first

oh, and about the Paul Chen swords, is the quality of the blade any better than the one i bought? (coz the price of those swords are much higher than the normal ones from eBay)

oh ok, hrm.. so how do i do the initial thing? and about the real Nihonto, hrm... how can i find one? btw, at the moment, im into the newly made one (since those old one is like... too expensive for me to afford) [but the main problem is... im not even sure if they exist!] EDIT#2 i think what im looking for are called Shinsakuto thanks

hi! im new to here, and new to nihonto i don't do martial art or such, but just really into nihonto since im young! ok, hrm... i would like to get some help from you people how to i know if the nihonto is good or not? what is the definition of good? (like, shape, made of what kinda material, and such) what do i have to take notice of when buying one? recently i bought one from this guy from eBay, but the sword quality is quite poor, i was expecting that since it was not that expensive. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... %3AIT&rd=1 oh well, i learnt something from buying him and now i found this guy selling on eBay, http://stores.ebay.com.au/Doku-Swords-a ... esstQQtZkm anyone bought from him before? is he reliable? and about Paul Chen (is he really famous or something? coz i seem to hear his name around quite a lot) thanks in advance!
