Hi all....saw the link to the contest....thought I might give it a go, and look the site over. So much to read.

My collection........looking over other people's you really don't want to know. I have a couple of decent ones. I haven't bought anything in a while(can't afford), which would be the cause of the interest dying it. Haven't even handled anything new. Kind of stuck right now as to where to go...Do I buy another blade to see if I'm still interested, or do I just save my money and move on? I was interested in long swords....XIIa, or XIIIa....and faster single hand. All western, don't like the eastern stuff much.

I'll be lurking...if I ever buy a new sword, fire works will go off..
