I have to be mad man, this is a piece of junk added to KOA that made me flamed up again! Sorry guys but I MUST tell you guys this... look at the photo, what the hell is that? The bagwa tells you the sword is a piece of junk, the designer don't even want to spend time to MAKE the whole bagwa on the CNC or something? They just made 4 symobols and FLIP it around and duplicate it to complete the 8??? What the hell is this?! This is not a bagwa!!!! Can you see?!

This is suppose to be the pre-heaven bagwa they are trying to use, but now what the hell is on the KOA sword? This is just a BIG FLAW again! They got the taichi diagram turning the right way, but it is also not correctly placed on the bagwa! sigh! When can sword manufacture start to do some research or google-work? How hard is it to make the sword abit more flawless? With that kind of price, I can see it's a "rush product" to fool those who doesn't know about swords and the bagwa stuff. too bad. You can see - no pegs or anything too, wow, how dangerous with just a nut holding the whole thing together in one piece?

Okay, first of all, this is not Kult of Athena's fault. They didn't make this sword; they are just a retailer, and they sell anything from pure junk to finely crafted treasures.

Second: This is mostly an aestetic issue. The fact that they messed up the bagwa says nothing about the functional quality of the sword, aside from the fact that it uses very cheap fittings.

Third: It's an unspecified Longquan-made jian for 150 bucks. So, no, you probably shouldn't expect it to be flawless. Or even especially good. In fact, you'll be lucky if it's even decent. Point is, if you are shopping for swords in this price range you probably shouldn't be too picky.

Sorry, I just have to clarify this - I am not mad at KoA, I am just pissed at such a piece of junk.

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
