I didn't see this forum before or I would have done this earlier.
My name is Mark. I live near Memphis TN. I enjoy hunting, fishing, offroad Jeeping, sharp objects and things that goes BOOM.
I've been buying and selling knives and guns most of my life and have had a few swords along the way. I have a Hanwei Shinto Katana that I picked up a few years ago. Really nice Katana compared to most I've seen but I am far from an expert. Recently I have bought some others like a ZT "The Deuce" & Apokatana (Gotta be prepared for them pesky Zombies) and a Hanwei Military Dadao. The wife thinks I'm nuts but that's just another reason she loves me.
I think I have closed a deal on a Hanwei Raptor Nanbokucho Katana to try and learn some real cutting technique with and there was a local guy who teaches Kendo that I'm going to check into in the next few days. I haven't done any hard martial arts stuff in a while and maybe it will help me sweat off some blubber as well.
I'm glad I found this place. Tons of good info/reading so maybe I can learn something and make a few internet friends. If anyone here lives near Memphis and would like to help an old fat guy learn some Katana cutting skills lemme know.
