Hi Trevor

 

You havent breached any rules of the forum, but you have murdered the guidelines of English usage in written communication. A full stop and capital letter here and there appropriately placed, would make much easier reading. :lol:

 

Welcome.... OOOPs... Just saw John's post...... Subject already covered.

Trevor, just in case....go to your profile, on the options section click "edit profile", you will see a box labeled "real name". type an appropriate name and save....as for your question, are you asking for web sites that are safe to purchase swords from? If so just sites in Japan or anywere..........welcome!

Real Name is required by default when registering. For the record..it is the signature section where you should add it to automatically sign your posts. The software doesn't allow that field to be filled in by default.

Hi Trevor,

 

Welcome to the board. If you go up to the top of the page and click on links it will bring you to the home page. At the top of that page you will see commercial links 1,2 and 3. Click on those and you will see plenty of dealers.
