GeorgeLuucas Posted January 28 Report Posted January 28 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, -Sam 2 Quote

atm Posted January 28 Report Posted January 28 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. 3 1 Quote

Cheers, -Sam 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. 2 Quote
