    That would be the perfect sword to rid the world of barney. I'm sure every parent of a toddler in the last 20 years has dreamed of using such a thing.

    I would love to go through that pile of naturals they had in that picture. Some of them were still quite expensive, even at discounted price, though.

    Kings in the picture are only about $15. Wish we could get them that cheap here!

    I must buy a smaller screen from my computer. I'm heaving dyspepsia, didn't read the title of the thread and thought I died and somehow I went to heaven. Also, heaven should definitely have razors too or at least some kind of steel. Having so many stones without something to hone is hell.

    Is it the village Miki Kagawa province or the city in Hyōgo? They are both near Kyoto. I have to go there next year.

    I see some Nakayama towards the bottom mounted on wood. It's a shame, by the time they get here, they'll be marked up to death...I'd love to get to Kyoto myself. Anyone ever see that program with the guy from Iron Chef where he went to trace the footsteps of the legendary Samurai Musashi?

    Anyway, he had a Katana made by a family that had been doing it for 1000 years. Now, that's what I want...
