Loz is good to his customers, just sorted me out with this Blades-UK Folded 1095 Katana http://www.blades-uk.com/large_pic.php?product_id=3069

instead of this blade i was going to get the PK, but this seems far higher quality with the fittings, and a genuine hammon etc. Can`t wait to receive it!

oh mick i had a look on your imageshack profile instead, some Fantastic blades on there! especially a white katana on the bottom of a set of 3 stand, really beutifull looking sword.

may i ask what design it is?

Best regards, Luke.

...The bottom line is that HMRC will now seize any samurai sword coming into the UK using the handmade defence that isn't clay forged, which essentially has destroyed the under £130 market overnight.

Ahhh I see. Thanks for the informed post, though it does explain the 'cheap Kat' situation; it's still true that B-UK can't compete against the Martial Arts stockists in terms of training equipment, clothing and iaito/shinken though, which is mainly what I meant, and what the topic relates to

The incoming Ninja stock sounds interesting though.

a really really good idea would be a mini review thing on the main site on each weapon for sale, so people who own the sword/blade for sale can leave there review on the blade to tempt people to buy it even more, however could be a double edged sword it would be worth a go tbh

katz hi
if you check the old threads carefully you will find most of the swords of worth have allready had a reviews especialy the high end chens the tinker pierces
some ryumons etc its just a case of looking for and finding them

[the blade master]

looking forward to it

Martial arts clothing can be hard to find in larger sizes (44 inch chest) and would be most welcome.
Safety gear even more so.
