Michael Bell will be giving a one hour presentation at 1 PM on Saturday of the show. It is entitled “The Japanese Sword: A Social and Technological History”.
One the Monday and Tuesday to follow the show, April 14-15, we will be hosting an open house here at Dragonfly Forge. Please contact us if you are interested in attending.
Hello, I am a newcommer to the collecting/practicing game and I live in Colorado. I would like to buy my first real sword but I wish to support a smaller forge in the US or Japan or anywhere really but China. Can you make a recomendation or two? If not do you know who I can contact for this info. I am looking for a more econimical first buy, I just don’t want to prop up major Chinese industry for personal reasons. Thanks for your time and keep the art alive.
Without knowing how much you wish to spend on a sword, I don’t know if I can make good recommendation.
Of course, we first of all would recommend ourselves at Dragonfly Forge, Michael and Gabriel Bell. We do take orders. Michael also has other students that could be possibilities.
If you would like to contact us directly with more specifics please call or email us.
