[the blade master]

thats a real nice start to your collection
now that ryumon i thought it was called the carved dragon katana

[vhornung]

Acualy here on som it's just called Ryumon Dragon Katana .
I bought it from jason when he first got them

I really like the setup you have with the glass doors, is that a gun cabinet or something else, I would love to find a display to enclose my prizes.

[the blade master]

you know your absolutly right it was the site where i bought mine that called it that and as you said ryumon that call it the dragon katana and to be honest i wouldnt mined the other two in the set the pheonix and the bamboo either:ohyeah:

[vhornung]

Blade Master I would like to have them to and the Masashi dragon as well but alas I am finacialy embarist at the moment.

Ninja I bought the rack here on som and made the encloser with glass doors my self. Need to get another rack and make another one , as I have run out of room.

I like the encloser with glass doors too. Its really nice do you have display/show lights in it ?
I was thinking of making one lie that.

[vhornung]

Thanks guys but I live in Lou. Ky . the enclosure is made of 1 by 6 oak boards with 1/8 inch oak vaneer back. with metal 90 degree corners for extra strength . The doors I had cut and polished at the local hardware out of 1/4 plate glass. Hinges are the clamp on kind with spring latches in the middle.I do not have acsent lighting in it as of yet but that is a good idea.

that display is very cool, hope you don't mind if I steal your idea in the future *tisk tisk* hehehe

nice collection too! any particular reason why you have the SOM katana out of the display?

[vhornung]

The display is full I will have to build another one. And then it will look so empty I will just have to fill it:king: At leat that what I'll tell my wife=))
