@AkaryuWelcome Pierre here’s to a well earned retirement! wish you all the best, enjoy the hobby and the reading it entails. never ending fun, we’re here to assist always.

Thank you Jean, Bradley, Eric and Brian for the kind welcome. I appreciate it, especially since I've already read so many old threads containing your experience and advancement in the hobby, it's as if i'm meeting a great old teacher, glad to be around. Appreciate you all, with thanks

Hi Everyone My name is Sebuh, i’ve recently gained an interest in Nihonto at the young age of 17. (Just turnt 18) After years or watching al sorts of media, seeing the Katana used and all. Guess that what’s caused my interest or, at-least planted the seed in my mind. After a few months of hiding around and obsessively reading content on Kamakura swords, my tastes have evolved. I appreciate Heian now, far far more. Late Heian to Early Kamakura seems to be my area. I’m based in New York City, Queens to be precise. Currently the only person not above the age of 40 into the hobby I think. I’ve been looking into the New York Token Kai, but a bit worried that i’d be the youngest there but i’ll make way eventually. Apologies for not introducing myself sooner, but it’s never too late. (hopefully)

best of luck don’t get discouraged, half the fun is in the hunt!

thanks everyone! appreciate the insights. Glad to be a member of the forums, been browsing for awhile without an account, glad I pulled the plug and made one. Thank you.

Hey everyone was browsing Jauce, saw this. Anyone know the story behind this? Still relatively new to the hobby and is shopping around, thanks. https://www.jauce.com/auction/b1114453731
