I stumbled onto this website almost by accident (or fate, however you want to see it) a year ago and found that the treasure trove contained within was akin to the Holy Grail for all who collect, sell, or just REALLY like to cut stuff with swords of all kinds. The host, writer, editor, world traveler, sword guru extraordinare, Paul Southren is one of the kindest, most patient (to those like myself that started out with a million and one questions), honorable Gents to have spread his wings and traveled from the land down under to the mysterious and sometimes confusing land of "The Rising Sun" Japan. Whilst keeping an amazing leadership role (and wizened eye) on the Sword Buyers Guide website/forum, that links would-be sword enthusiasts from all walks of life with the most perfect of blades that fit like a glove....or gauntlet, he not only writes hard hitting and in-depth analysis (not to mention testing the limits and durability of these amazing "links to our past" to the breaking point) he welcomes fellow sword swingers to review and share their findings on this most time saving and invaluable Wonderland indeed. So whether you are a closet sword enthusiast, backyard samurai, or someone who loves to collect pieces of history, THIS website and its creator welcome you into this most honorable worldwide fraternal gathering of sword lovers! DO NOT FORGET to visit, peruse, and buy at phenomenally low prices (I assure you that you will NOT find them lower) from the SBG online store. Everything from custom katanas, to Viking swords so historically accurate you will swear you've fallen through a portal to the past. Please, do not miss out on the Wonderland Mr. Southren has created for the worlds enjoyment! Seriously, stop reading this and go
