We all learn form each other, which is enjoyable! If people think they know it all already, then they lose their capacity to learn, and at that point it's all over. We all start somewhere, everyone's a beginner at some point, and if people remember that they themselves were there once, they are more mindful about how they respond to beginner's questions. What some people don't realise is that learning never stops, it's a lifelong process!

Stickem - While I do agree with what you said but sometimes it could be more useful to ask the right questions, often the answer found is always more fulfilling than an answer given. I've seen a lot of elitist attitude on other forums but this forum remains one of the friendliest, if I come across as condescending or such you have my apology as it was never my intention.
Kuya - I also highly recommend Arek, I own a pair of tsuba's from Arek and they're top notch work exactly to my spec's. Also one of the most important thing to remember is a good tsuba should also feel great in the hand.

Vue ~ No worries. You have always been helpful to me I wasn't calling anyone out by name specifically here or any where else, rather just speaking in general terms. What I'm getting at is I think Jussi saying, " Hey, that Arts Feng snake tsuba is copied from one in the Hartman Collection." is a very useful thing to do. It provides an answer which has a resource if someone wants to look into it further. I am fortunate enough to have this book. So I did look it up. Just couldn't remember where I had seen it before without the helpful tip. Contrast this with saying, " Go look it up." which in my opinion, isn't very useful. It's not just about swords either. It's about how we live our lives. Do we help others or try to hinder them? But I also agree with your take on finding things for yourself. Really the most meaningful things in life are things we experience for ourselves. For instance, I can explain to you how I do something in martial arts, but it won't be all that meaningful until you find it yourself and can do it yourself. The point being, if I can do it, you can do it. There is nothing special about me that makes us fundamentally different. The difference is the amount of time and effort we have put in. Stepping off soapbox now :lol:
