RufusScorpius: Levin Lance: a Bowie knife you say? I will have to see the review, then take a look at it for myself. Sounds interesting.. May 19, 2022 19:19:57 GMT *

RickDastardly: There's a Paul Chen (CAS?) Bushido katana for sale on a UK forum for £295. No connection to me, I'm just a member. Looks a bargain; I'd have it if I had spare cash. You need to sign up a FREE membership to view, and pay £5 membership to use PM there. May 18, 2022 14:13:15 GMT

RufusScorpius: Spent the day in Essen with Markus313 learning more about the buckler. I really like it a lot! Markus is getting much better with the katana. It was a good workshop day, but now I'm sore... happens when you get old... May 14, 2022 18:17:49 GMT
