We're busier now than ever before, even had a guy come down from Glasgow and leave with an entire van full of samurai swords last week so it won't be long before we're sold out.
After April . . . . I'm hoping there will be more interest in the European lines, we're increasing our range of those, all the uk suppliers are upping the fantasy ranges they do (axes, daggers, broadswords). Functionality wise, Chen have said they're working on 5-6 new European designs and we've just had some of the new valiant and JGS designs arrive, We've got official 300 stuff on the way (helmets, shield etc., a huge range of armour, helmets, chainmail etc, has arrived here and I've been working with a forge on some designs I'm extremely pleased with but if there's a market for them I don't know, more research to be done.
Essentially there's very few plans yet, I think we're all in the depression stage still as samurai sword sales make up the bulk of our market, I'd like to start my own political party, it would base it's decisions on expert opinion, not be pressured into knee jerk reactions, understand the importance of freedom and finally happily come back to an issue and say, 'ok this new law hasn't worked so let's scrap that and see if we can get it right this time'
The government started banning certain types of knives back in 1959 . . . 47 years on and IT STILL HASN'T LEARNT IT DOESN'T WORK (Most people in our office figured it out in about 7 seconds)
That'd be our campaign slogan
