My first samurai sword! I payed £104 and I'm so happy with this sword, its very sharp but more importantly looks beautiful to me. I will deffinatly end up collecting these fine pieces of art and history.
Also quick question, though I have already gave it a clean with the kit im wondering should I get some of that renaissance wax? Im not sure if I would still need to use the maintance kit or if you just apply the wax and nomore maintanence? Also it appears to have the wax/oil inside the scabard (saya) which goes on the blade when unsheathed, is this normal?
