Greetings,
After countless hours of reading and much valuable information gleaned, I decided to finally join in the discussion. I am sure I will be asking questions for a long time before I feel confident enough in my knowledge to offer much in the way of contributions, but time will tell.
I have been fascinated by Japanese swords for most of my life. Recently this has been slanted toward the swords of WWII. After purchasing my first sword last year I'm completely hooked. I've been ingesting as much information as I can. I am hopeful that you, the members of this fine forum, will be able to assist me in my search for a greater understanding of these incredible creations. I have many questions about some of the swords that have crossed my path. I will be posting those soon where appropriate.
I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself and to say thank you to the members who have already answered many, many questions typed into the search bar. I look forward to getting to know everyone and possibly even offer some helpful information in the future.
Thank you and take care out there.
-Sam
