Some of the swords seem like legitimately strong weapons, but you can never tell. Here is the link: www.zhisword.com/

I mean, all of the T/P swords run between 120-250, and they're just fine.

With different sword I get different answers (regardless of price). Everything from not for cutting to full tang suitable for tatami, heat treated ... etc.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT
