Toryu2020 Posted June 3, 2024 Report Posted June 3, 2024 Please note - pre-registration for the event has closed. Timeslots will be mailed out this week. You can still submit swords at the show. Come see me in the shinsa room after 13:00 Friday I am sure we can fit everybody in. -tch 2 Quote
DTM72 Posted June 5, 2024 Report Posted June 5, 2024 I am starting to get some last minute enquiries as to my Orlando Shinsa service. There is still time to make this happen, but time is of the essence! I am driving from South Carolina to Florida on Thursday June 20th so items for shinsa MUST arrive to me by no later than Wednesday June 19th. I will do everything I can to help out, but I need to plan accordingly for how to pack my items, and yours as well. Help me help you! lol. Please feel free to reach out and get your blades to shinsa. There is still time, but we are just 2 weeks away. All the best! Dan 2 Quote
Soshin Posted June 6, 2024 Report Posted June 6, 2024 My padded gun case is filled with what I am going to bring to the show and/or shinsa. I am very much looking forward to both the show and the NTHK shinsa. 2 1 Quote
Mark Posted June 10, 2024 Report Posted June 10, 2024 I will have tables at the show as usual. If anyone attending needs any parts or unusual items let me know. I will ave my usual swords (many NBTHK papered) and tsuba and misc. But i have limited space so will not bring everything.

Japan2112 Posted June 12, 2024 Report Posted June 12, 2024 Hello all, Yes, the Orlando Show's hotel room block is officially closed but as of today guests have still been able to reserve into the hotel for the weekend. If you have any issues give us a call and we'll try to help. 2024 will have (18) US States and Canada represented by table holders and our local advertising, NTHK shinsa (and Fx's Shogun series) are all creating a good Orlando buzz for a great show. See you there! Mark C. 3 Quote

dimitri Posted June 23, 2024 Report Posted June 23, 2024 This is a chance for you to be able to put nihonto into Shinsa evaluation. I am happy for those who had good results, it would be extraordinary to have more opinions and information? Thank you. Quote
Soshin Posted June 25, 2024 Report Posted June 25, 2024 I had submitted two swords to the shinsa on day number two. One sword is a signed katana and the other is a signed and dated tanto. Both passed NTHK shinsa! 4 Quote

Mark Posted June 25, 2024 Report Posted June 25, 2024 Mark, his family, and team did a great job with the show............. If anyone has thoughts about the shinsa that should be a separate thread as Mark doesn't have any control over the shinsa other than arranging for the space etc. I think Orlando is growing and hopefully will continue to prosper see you next year mark 3 Quote

Toryu2020 Posted July 2, 2024 Report Posted July 2, 2024 It was a smaller team this year so we did not process as many items as in previous shinsa. That being said pass/fail rate was consistent right around 50%. It seems no matter where we perform these events, Chicago, Tampa, San Francisco or Orlando the pass/fail rate is pretty much the same. -tch 1 1 Quote
DTM72 Posted July 19, 2024 Report Posted July 19, 2024 Did anyone see this crazy Samurai-Jedi walking around the show with converse shoes? I couldn't see him because I was wearing a mempo. lol Thanks to Mark C. @Japan2112 for the pics! 2 Quote

The young fella in the second picture was facinated by the armor, and the light saber. Just before packing up everything on the table, I put the armor on for him. I offered to put it on him, but he was worried about the weight of it. Still had a good time, and lots of pics were taken. 1 Quote
