The Currier Museum in Machester NH has a very nice traveling exhibition called "Lethal Beauty" http://www.currier.org/nowonview.aspx I am local and I went over on Saturday with my son. They have several full suits of armour, some nice helmets, some tsuba, and a few swords. No a large exhibit, but some nice examples of the samurai period. Anybody that's nearby should consider taking exhibit in. reagrds, Dave Suitor

Metal edge protector for restoration job

Does anyone know where I might find a metal edge guard (or the material to make one) as seen in the attached photo. I can make one from scratch if needed, but thought that if guards are available somewhere, I'd just buy one. thanks, Dave Suitor

Hi Mott, Consider the Polar Bear Forge tong blanks as a compromise between buying and making. Jamie laser cuts the blanks which you can then finish and customize to your needs. You can get more for your money this way. Polar Bear Forge tong blanks regards, Dave
