Hi Kyley. I tried to post a comment under the video on Youtube, but it wouldn't let me, so I'll put it here:

Excellent information. I've embedded this on the Chinese Swords Guide on this page http://www.chinese-swords-guide.com/hanwei-swords.html Please let me know if you would like a return link from the page to your website.

Hi Linda,

Thanks. I dont need a link back unless you wish to. information is of value on its own merits.

I will also be adding videos over the next week on the edge mainentance and keeping the edge in good cutting condition. I've already had requests for these. I'll do the videos using hand methods as I understand most people buying the sword will not have slack belt sanders for working on convex edges.
