A while ago after the Hemingway expierience The old man and the beer, thought how many "real" Nihonto collectors do we have in our homecountries? And what makes anyone a true collector? Asked collectors, dealers, NBTHK/ NTHK members, swordclub members, forummates, NMB members one question: How many real collectors do we have here in germany, the answers reached from 55 to 250. Often asked what is a real collector? Have to own one Nihonto, 10 books, is over three years in the hobby, forum member, NBTHK/NTHK member, private sword club member and .. What do you think how many real collectors are in your countries? For germany I think we have 250 collectors...
