I just ordered an Albion Svante and a Bugei Lion Dog within a few minutes of each other!

*Gasp* *Choke* *Hyperventilate*

I suppose I could look at it one of two ways. Either it was a big pile of money that vanished in an instant or it was a big pile of money that I can love and cherish for the rest of my life. I rather prefer the latter philosophy. :D

Well, I think that's just about all the sword buying I'll be doing for a little while—possibly a long while. But by the sword gods, it was worth it. And now begins the interminable waiting.

Yay! Swords! :)

Yes, deep sloooooooow breaths and compensate by eating rice and beans ( Or whatever is cheap and filling ) a few days a week for a few months or years and you will have it all paid off ! ;) :lol:

Seriously, congratulations. :cool:

Look at it this way, Sam: The money can either be sitting in your bank doing nothing, or it could be hanging on your wall looking magnificent! Or it could be in your hands for some test-cutting - or could be part of a faire costume causing others to gawk with envy! Congrats, man. When they arrive, share the feeling of anxiety with us as you open the box(es) and tell of your first impressions!

What's a "Bugei Lion Dog?"
