Fellow Iaidoka,
I am currently considering making the investment in a new Iaito and I was shopping around the net when I found http://www.swordstore.com. Their price ranges are definitly attractive but I would also see that as a reason to question the quality of the blade. I was just dropping this post here to ask if anyone has ever owned or used a Nosyuiaido blade and if so, what was the quality and/or your opinion of the product. Another thing that made me question blade quality was the fact that they list it to be made of zinc-aluminum, I was sure how sturdy these blades would be, aluminum and zinc are, to my understandings, rather soft metals.
If you know of any over distributor that makes a quality iaito in the range of $300-$600, please let me know.
Thank you,
Lazarus Miller
