Hello to everyone here,
I'm Xavier from France, I'm about 40 years old and begin with studying in a proper way the story of Nihonto.
My passion is due to a personal and family story with a wakizashi that I'm trying to retrieve.
I'm here thanks to the suggestion of a member of the board, Travis Clarke, and I feel that I'll do such great progress talking with you of this so special interest.
I'm also a japanophile and begin to practice Iaido and to study Japanese.
I'm at the moment waiting for my two first Nihonto purchased in auctions or on internet (thx Travis !!) and will soon post threads about them.
I just apologize for my poor english but will be very glad to share with you my passion.
Regards
Xavier VW
P.S. : excuse me Brian, I actually read about the signature but forgot it...
