I would like to thank everybody who is involved in the creation of swords. If not for you, swords would still be things of legend instead of real weapons that we can hold in our hands. When you create swords, we can glean a better understanding of history; what our forefathers may have experienced. Our dreams and fantasies can become reality while we hold a bright blade, gleaming in the sun. Swords are profound symbols as well - nobility, honor, strength, courage, chivalry - the sword is truly a fascinating weapon. Beauty, grace, and power are embodied in a weapon that is designed to take the lives of men. Makers of swords work hard at an ancient trade to give us something that the majority of society deems silly, childish, and unnecessary. These men and women, who slave away at the difficult and tiring task of creating swords, are rarely rich. It would be simple and convenient for them to work at an easier, and more profitable trade. Know this, men and women who craft swords - I am extremely grateful for your sacrifices, and I hope that you and your tradition prosper. We have been raised to honor scheming politicians, foolish philosophers, and rebellious dissenters. Let us now praise those who bring our dreams to life.
-Jonathan Kenyon

Hear hear! When I grip the handle of Cold Steel's Gim, my Mei Ling, I feel what I'd dreamed of feeling since I began loving swords when I was eight years old. Took eleven years for that feeling, but it's all thanks to those that keep the romanticism and the art alive in modern swordsmithing.

Jonathan seems to be a very sincere young man. What with his flowing blond locks and blue eyes- you just want to trust him, don't you? LOL Well said, Jonathan...a sentiment I know we all echo in our hearts. We've all tried it before you know...no discounts forthcoming!

Looks like a member of Hanson to me... ;D Ha! It beats looking like a serial killer featured on Dateline years ago ;D. I freaked a lady out at church, her husband said he looked just like me. So I got that going for me ;D And I couldn't agree with Jonathan more!

Hey Jonathan,, thanks! This sentiment seems totaly heartfelt and I personally appeciate it. Though you weren't looking for it, you got a discount from Odin:). Daily I wonder what the heck I'm doing making swords. People like you are the reason and you hit it,,, there ain't alot of dough in it so it must be the art.

Do I really get a discount? I am extremely impressed by your generosity, but I am on a budget right now in my quest for my first sword, so unless you make sub $500 swords, I think I will have to take a rain check. Don't worry though, because in a few years from now I will be contacting you for a custom project! You honestly don't know how much I respect sword makers. I often find myself thinking that many custom smiths charge their clients too low of a price for their work.

You order a sword from John, and I'll give you a discount on a scabbard for it.
