Non-toy Acquisitions

I bought something really expensive, but so worth it





And for size comparison... (it is massive and heavy)





And got this for the wife

They are beautiful!

They are indeed. I love the Game Of Thrones sword, my first replica sword

Finally took the delivery of my iaito today, it's been two long months waiting for them to do a custom:

*snip*

Went with the namichidori + Ho-O furniture with navy silk ito/sageo.

*snip*

More importantly, she's perfectly balanced and so easy to wield even though it's a habahiro wide blade! So stoked for the next training session as I'll be grading in a week!

A trio of very nice blades indeed, 3 very distinct styles & 3 very different wielding techniques no doubt; Frightening prices attached too I imagine.

Thanks Hursticon, mine is just a little shy of $900 but I expect to be using it for the next 6 years or more at the dojo and at home .

Ontopic, just bought a founder's pack for Mechwarrior Online!

Just went and got myself my first DSLR yesterday. I have the sony SLT-A57. So far I am amazed by it about to head out and test its 12f.p.s shooting mode.

Nice dude! Looks awesome!!

Remember to keep it oiled. I just used to use sewing machine oil and rub a little on with a soft rag, Use too much and it'll get in the scabbard and go all icky. Oil it every month or so. You'd be surprised how quick they get rust spots on them if you forget or are lazy.

$420 for Ice and $100 for Dark Link's sword. Ice is very heavy, but I'd never swing it lol

Thanks mate, yeah I bought some chuji oil and will oil it regularly. I have to do it at the end of every training in fact, for habit forming. To be honest I find myself addicted to the clove oil smell .
