akasher Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 Hi all. My Name is Akash. I've been a bit of a nerd when it comes to historical firearms and own a few old rifles. Always had a fascination with swords, but nihonto more specifically. Might be kind of a weird one, but I'm getting married this summer and as per my own culture's tradition I'll be carrying a sword of some sort with me. While not typical, I've decided to carry a katana so I have been doing some research and would prefer to buy an antique rather and a modern blade or a replica. A bit of a story about why. My grandfather was an important and respected figure in his community back in the day in India. As a thank you for helping out a WWII vet friend he was gifted a katana back in the 1950's. Unfortunately it was lost in a fire sometime in the 80's, but by all accounts it was something he truly cherished. Since I'm really a complete novice here, I was wondering if there is a particular place where I could post asking questions about particular blades that I'm interested in and if they're "good" or not (essentially a fair price).

But I changed my username from GeorgeLuucas to Scogg Scogg is an abbreviation of my last name, and has also been a common nickname for me. I am sick being called George. Although I remain a big StarWars fan Cheers, -Sam 1 1 2 1 Quote
