Just got my first Euro so I think I can start posting my collection here a little...

My collection would be pale in comparison to other forumites collection here... (looking at Mr. Dave Kelly, Swiger, SwordFan, etc), :lol: but here we goes...

Just have 4 swords at the moment... Hopefully will be able to add more soon..

From top to bottom/left to right:

Bugei Peace Katana
Hanwei Beile Dao
Huanuo Jue Yun Jian
Albion Brescia Spadona

Except for Brescia Spadona, other swords have been reviewed and posted on this very forum. For Brescia Spadona... well, just read Chenessfan reviews of Mr. Swiger's Brescia Spadona... That review is the reason I ordered one :lol:

UPDATE:

Hanwei Khitan Wootz Saber

Hahaha... thanks Mr. Swiger,

I was tempted with Windlass and VA in the beginning actually (until I saw your Brescia's review! Argghh!!!)... however being overseas where sword is 'restricted' items, it's pain in the butt to get custom clearance (and also costly!) for any sword... Shipping cost & custom clearance itself could buy me a windlass (on average the shipping cost for each sword is around $100! [the Brescia costs me EUR150!]... I have to use courier (UPS/FedEx) for international shipping...

Wish I could just ordered from KoA and got it cheap without custom & shipping hassle...

Oh well, enough complaining!

2013 I added 3 swords into my collection.
Brescia Spadona (left), Hanwei Khitan Wootz Saber (2nd from right), and Kingmaker (2nd from right).

For some unknown reason, I have only 2 swords that could be considered long sword (brescia & bugei)! This need to be fixed someday!

Hopefully I would be able to add 3 more swords this year... 3 seems to be a good number :lol:

I've read a few times it's on the thin / flex able side.

It's pretty stiff... Not as stiff as Kingmaker (XVIII), but I would say it's adequate for thrusting

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

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
