Bowen <
http://bowensanders.livejournal.com/profile > has increased my interest in swords... and I have been developing several relationships with some people who work for companies which sell swords {FuruBushidoo, Musashi, Masahiro, Ryumon, and a company in Zhejiang Jinlong named "Golden Dragon" (I think)} and I wanted to see the quality of swords they carry... so I have purchased about a dozen swords (a few from each company) and I like the quality/price ratio they have. To see an example of what I am getting look at these: Handmade Practical Dragon Samurai Katana #208 <
http://www.handmadesword.com/208.html > and Hand Forged Practical Musashi Katana #212 <
http://www.handmadesword.com/212.html > - If you look at these webpages you will see the price goes down the more you purchase like this:
Quant. and Price
-------------------------
Just 1 $79.99 +shipping
2-3 $49.99/sword +shipping
4-5 $39.99/sword +shipping
6-11 $35.99/sword +shipping
12+ $29.99/sword +shipping
So I was wondering if you would like to go in on a group purchase with Bowen and I (and a few other friends).
Let me know if you are interested!
