Located in the South-East of the UK I operate a small second-hand tool business specialising in collectible hand tools and machinery aimed at both amateur and professional users. My wife and I have been interested in Japanese swords for approximately 30 years and enjoy the history of the items in relation to the historic time in which they were used. Just as the UK produced some of the finest and robust tooling and machinery in the world culminating in the 1960's we both love and appreciate the masterful skills and workmanship of Japanese sword-smithing as it was passed from generation to generation.
