I understand some like the Hanwei products. But why in heavens would I get a company-made blade from Hanwei when I can ask Paul Binns to make me one easily MUCH better at a decent price and made by a craftsman? Because, while you may not it isn't all about you. What it's about is having options and...

I need to pick my battles (quite literally) so as to keep staying power until the end (I am not 21 anymore!) , sleep enough to be able to fight and (silly me) even enjoy other aspects of P...

Ya know, I LOVE the idea of getting this girls some armor but if she grows at all from year to year every piece is a temporary solution. Wade Allen has to build a new suit for his son yearly.

Freiman, If nobody sells them, they can be made from hardened leather, as some are made for Kendo shinai. As for premade katana, the issue is twofold: 1) using the right piece of rattan with the Sori (or curvature) the final user would want, 2) getting the skill to make the whole thing oval like a B...

Point well taken. It was but a small survey. If you have better examples, please reference them, as I'd love to see them. Though I did mention the Scuta, the issue was not only whether there were any form of sharp corners, but whether they were used the way we do. I was trying to figure out whether ...
