Guy had a bunch of bags of swords he picked up on the way to the show. Here are just a few

I was only able to attend on Saturday, but I had a great time! I really enjoyed admiring @nulldevice's sword, that was probably a highlight for me. Really stunning. 

Another would be Brian T's and Woody Halls presentation. Both were really eye opening and interesting, and I appreciate their efforts and time a lot. 

The rest of the show was a good time, and was amazing to see the variety of items in two MASSIVE rooms. I unfortunately missed the bag of swords! While hunting around I only found ONE type 95 to add to my cataloging, and it was a late war wood handle. I thought it was interesting how few there were...

Cheers,

Wild fires are nothing to mess with.  Here is a collection. Some good names in there

Is there an active descendant of Echizen Yasutsugu in business? That is really heartbreaking.

It was a great show. I spent all of my time in the sword section and never made it to the other rooms! And the Mrs. World pageant was happening in the same hotel, which made for some interesting juxtaposition with the cowboy collectors and antique gun crowd.
 

A few of us got to try tameshigiri on tatami after the kenjutsu demonstration. That was super cool. Here’s @Mark about to teach that tatami a lesson.

Thanks for the kind words @GeorgeLuucas, its always good to see fellow NMB members! Glad you liked the sword! 

 

Brian and Woody gave incredible presentations on making seppa, cutting the yokote, and burnishing the mune of a sword. All were phenomenal presentations.
