Yea, I hear you Ries. I just noticed the google ads for this page pointing to several sword and knife web sites. The thing is that the two I just checked out were for mass produced swords coming from China. Not to say that China is bad for their steels. In fact, they're the ones that came out with the Samurai swords, right? Or do the samurai swords come from Japan?

The thing I like is seeing that there is an interest in having custom hand made swords made, and that folks commissioning these swords understand the cost of making something that has been made by a quality craftsman. Seems that the metalsmith that made this sword knew what he was doing.
