What is the primary reason you would attend a sword show?

[Brian]

By request of a member, I am putting up this poll.

If you pick "other" then post your reasons as a reply. I have enabled 2 selections per person.

Interesting but I go for the first four reasons.

I agree with Pete! For my top two I chose buy and education. It is easier to pbuy if you sell and I do like to socialize as well. All good reasons to go to a show. As for shinsa not so much.

[Surfson]

I go for all but "other"!

I go for 4 and 3...in that order....with a bit of 2 (just odds and ends).

More arms fair than sword show, allthough there are nihonto dealers. I take the lad, its become a yearly tradition.

To see swords I could never buy, to meet fellow sword collectors, to study and learn, to ask questions, to enjoy the beauty of each sword and its accoutrements, to buy sword books and much, much more.
