Ok finally, Getting in here to this forum was not that easy, Well let me start off by introducing myself my name is Jeff and I live in Kansas City Mo, The only other forum I have been on was the Mr Beer forum when I started brewing my own beer 5 years ago, Now I brew some of the best tasting beer and have 10 gallons of homebrew on tap, 5 gallons of a house beer Cape Point Blonde @ 5.5% and a Summit IPA @ 7.8%, Unfortunately I didn't find this site until after i made 2 katana purchases just last week but I have a few questions I would like to ask and I would appreciate all your professional advice, OK question 1 is I bought my first practice katana in 1981 from a company I want to say was something ARMORY maybe Springfield I think it was $100 and had a rockwell hardness of C 48-50, really junk, a little sharp but something to play with. Question # 2 is I bought The Bamboo Mat katana and the practical Pro Elite, which I bought from Mantis Inc because I didn't know of KOA, True Swords, Darksword armory,ect. The Bamboo Mat katana which I received yesterday looks really nice but have a scuff on the saya and would like to know the best way to try to get it out, I work in the automotive industry and have 3M polish rags but the lacquer on the saya is softer than the clearcoat on a vehicle so the soft new rag left very fine scratches, I haven't received the Practical Pro Elite yet. but its nice to be here and get some expert advice Thank You Jeff
