Hello everyone.

Name is Bas, currently studying for a business and economics degree in Amsterdam. Always loved swords ever since I was a boy and recently purchased a tinker great sword of war, cost me about 132 GBP not super high end but then again I am a poor student. Looked for something that looked good and was functional. Was looking at Barnett swords but couldn't find any good info on how they handled and what little I did find was not that positive. That's about it I guess

people on here seem very friendly and helpful so I am sure I'll enjoy it here.

cheers

Sword fancy is all that counts. Being broke is probably a good things as this addiction tends to drane lose pocket change at a precocious speed. Enjoy

Welcome aboard, and don't worry if your sword is high end, entry level, or in the middle. My first real/functional swords were a Cheness and Dynast Forge Musha... pretty low on the sword world tiers. This place is for enthusiasts whether or not they're able to afford expensive stuff or not!

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

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 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

eastman: that situation has been constant at MyArmoury for the last 2-3 years Nov 18, 2024 0:32:06 GMT

choseychas: Anyone have any info on MyArmoury registration? Been wanting to make an account for a year or more (can't remember at this point) but every time I've checked they've halted registrations. Nov 17, 2024 21:55:36 GMT

alinkinthechain: I also do love Boston. I've traveled a bit and nothing feels as wonderful as that city to me. I'm lucky to live nearby Nov 12, 2024 15:28:16 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT

eskiso: someone can help me to identify a sword and its origin, to see its commercial value please. 2346

nerdthenord: Oh I’ve been there lol, I’m in Texas. Dallas is certainly not high on my travel list lol Oct 27, 2024 8:35:23 GMT
