Now THAT is a worthy future SBG project--Reviewing what I've collected. Once I finish adding the next few swords, I'm going to be transcribing my 'first notes' and 'continued observations' on the swords I've got in my collection. A side project that might come to fruition would be to review and link each one from this main collection thread but ... that's in the future  Really I should have written the reviews and observations when I first made them instead of sticking them in my notebook. Old habits from before this infernal tablet/smartphone Ouro |

Hello Ouro from the UK ,
Love that collection of yours , some really nice pieces but I particularly like the Hanwei Silver Anniversary Katana , Wow . I am in the process of trying to buy my first Katana , but there is so much confusion out there as to how good or bad a product is it really baffles me . Don't fancy selling that one do you. I am searching for a katana around and up to £500 British pounds . It must have a proven quality blade of 28"-29" ,Clay Tempered , Differentially hardened with a nice clear Hamon fitted with a decent Tsuka, any ideas ?
Take care
M

Take care M Over the Xmas holidays I was lucky enough to get my paws on another Shinto to add to my collection. The First Generation of Hanwei Shinto. Though gen 1 is characterized by a lack of bohi I enjoy both equally. Perhaps the anniversary shinto is slightly lighter but both exhibit a fast draw and a smooth handling feel wìth agility to spare... I think a bit more care might have been put into the assembly of the anniversary shinto than the regular production model, but I enjoy both far too much to let either go on the sales block. Student of Sword had a 25th Anniversary Shinto up for sale not that long ago. tommyh had an interesting blade up for sale as well...the musashi limited edition by Hanwei. A beefier blade geometry more in line with heavier targets but I'm afraid I don't own one to give you a better idea how they handle after the initial few practice sessions with one. Hope you find your holy grail 👍🍻 Cheers Ouro |

Anyone with an appreciation for the blade is welcome at my table, sit and enjoy, share a hearty tale! Though you won't find much variety in the shapes in my collection of sharp n pointed metal, i can appreciate swords of all different ages and styles .... this summer I'm looking forward to stashing some cash away for a sabre, or other Canadian/Brittish piece of history. Time to add some antiques to the shieldmaidens collection 👍🍻 |

I don't mind vegetarians. Corn and potatoes are amazing on a grill. Not as amazing as a steak or burger, but I chose a corn on the cob over a burger (as a kid) a ton of times.
As for being a handful, pretty much every kid in my family can be a handful haha. It's how I'm used to it. A behaved kid is where I am puzzled haha
