Greetings fellow Collectors!
Please forgive any mistakes i make, for this is my first post on any website ever..and still trying to learn the ropes...lol.
So let me introduce myself,
My name is Jash. I was born in a small town in South Africa, but spent the last 17yrs in Canada. I have a degree in Mathematics, a minor in Medical Biophysics, and currently in medical school. Also, i am deeply involved in martial arts...for 13 years now. I bought my first weapon at the age of 13 (luckily for me, my dad collects) and have been hooked ever since. Now, at 96 weapons (35 swords, 35 knives/daggers, 18 martial arts, and 8 other) i believe it is time for me to slow down....
I have been reading these forums about once a day for the past month straight....and finally decided to take the time to join and hope to share whatever limited knowledge i have with others. This forum seems very friendly and knowledgable, and i look forward to chatting with you all soon!
Happy Sword Hunting,
Jash

Cheers!

5Great pictures!
I see that I am not the only one to have a Tudor Mint figure(s)
I was given Bilbo Bagins II from my Birthday last year. I was quit excited. They are crafted very well too!

6Welcome Jash, glad to have you as a part of our forum. Sounds like you have an outstanding collection, care to list all your swords?
Do you have the maniacs, or the schizophrenics, or the astrophysicists in your family?
