  14. Not easy to write the blog week after week...many blogs sleeps in after a while... Good idea to have an int. blog and to save treasures... Best
  15. May be the thing is to start with a " Gallary Section " Awful to write at six in the morning
  16. Good idea, IMO we need to save more of the NMB and Nihonto world. Make a special section so.. Darcy had the same idea to save stories..It's also fine to save the anecdotes from well known sword people as a legacy for the current and future sword family. Do we honor Afu Watson, Mr. Hagenbusch, ...And what's about Paul Bowman, Peter Bleed, Ian and ....? And every time one great man passed away we have " sad news" thread and that's all. Best Regards
