Hi Dan, While at the show, stop by my table- I'd be happy to meet you, discuss nihonto, and answer any questions you may have. I'll be there with other members of the Indiana Token Kai, a sword preservation and study group in your neighboring state. Best, Dan K

An electronic version was available at one time on disc, to be used in conjunction with the paper version of the books. It did not contain any pictures; it was provided to enable electronic searches of the documents. Dan K -

Jeremy, How did you finish the Oak? Any concerns with the tannins in the wood 'interacting' with the backside of the tsuba over time? Thanks, Dan
