Hi everybody. I'm new I guess. I've been lurking for a while, so I thought I should join in on the forum fun 
. I've loved swords since I was a wee lad, and through the interwebs I've learned a lot, especially from places like here and myArmoury
The first sword I got was a Hanwei Godfred for my birthday, maybe three or four years ago. Since then I haven't gotten very many other swords, since I'm kind of young(I'm turning 16 soon), and swords can get expensive. The good thing is I've just recently joined the SCA, and I learned that as long as I go to demos and teach people about swords they are a write off for taxes, so I get free swords :mrgreen: So I'm probably going to be getting more soon.
I like Euro swords the most, and I'd love to own an Albion someday. I haven't done much backyard cutting, but I probably will in the future. My uncle owns a meat packaging company, so maybe I'll be able to get some pigs to test cut on :twisted:
I wanted to know, what would be good swords to demonstrate Oakeshott's typology to people that are fairly inexpensive but aren't SLOs and I can use them for backyard cutting? I was thinking Hanwei Tinkers, but maybe you all have better ideas.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I hope to get many fancy new shinies that I can share with you all.
