Mushi-mushi, I am a new member here on the forums and am just getting back into collecting swords. I stopped collecting swords in high school because, they were cheap pieces of junk that seem like they were made in a sweat shop(it doesn't help when youu buy them for $20 and expect them to function) and plus I thought it was childish :geek: ... TIME TO BE A KID AGAIN! I just got done investing in the firearms I wanted so now I'm going back to blades. This time, now that I have cash flow that's worth a crap, I'll be investing in blades of a higher caliber. Cheness and Hanwei are the two I've got my eyes on primarily. Anyways, I'm from Cookeville, TN and ride a 2006 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, hence my topic name(Squid is sport bike rider lingo for 'squirrely new kid'). :mrgreen:

I hear the Toys R' Us song in the back of my head...  Good stuff starting up again- are you going all katana or will you turn to the Euro side? Do it... |

Welcome to the forum.
As for katana: you've picked good starter brands; good luck with your first purchase.

Great, now that you've said that I do too. I dunno, it depends on if something strikes my fancy. It would have to be one bad @$$ sword for me to want it. Probably a Germanic long sword not for fun factor but more of cultural heritage.

Thanks man, I appreciate the warm welcome. I'm probably gonna go with the Cheness 9260 Kaze. I want one with a natural Hamon and the only thing that I don't like about that blade is the Tsuba it has from the smith, I'll probably remove and do one of two things, sand it and repaint it with a antique bronzing paint or replace the Tsuba all together.
