Hi, i would like to reintroduce myself. I created long time ago this account, but i was not really active. Because of different reasons but one was the stop of Iaido training. Last months i started again in interessting in nihonto, so i was suprised my account was'nt deleted. So i reactived the account and directly bought i nihonto in this forum. Maybe to fast we will see. My other Japanese interest are koryu martial arts schools, shinto muso ryu jo (school of stickfighting against sword) i am training and Japanese jeans. So my second start is a little bit different, regards Oli PS: sorry with my english, i am not native speaker/writer

Hi Tom, i am in the organization IMAF (http://www.imaf-germany.com) and no student of Eisenack. For long time a had a gunto , the blade was made from ishido mitsunobo. The blade needs a polish and i was not sure if it was a true gendaito so i sold it. This year i was looking for a katana for tameshigiri. I purchased a chinese one. And now i am interesting once again in nihonto, maybe also for training. cheers Oli
