1.- Find out if it is a sword First. (The Japanese Sword Experience)
Some of you might be thinking, hey its obvious that it has to be a sword if I’m going to buy it.It seems a pretty obvious quiestion when buying a sword. It might sound stupid but believe me it is very important to take a look at the instructions and descriptions when ever your buying a sword.
Imagine that a couple of months ago i received a phone call from a friend telling me that there was a retail store selling samurai swords at very low prices. Whe he said $28 Usd I realized it was very low. I couldn’t believe it. It is impossible that any retail store has best prices than I do. And whe I say IMPOSSIBLE, it is IMPOSSIBLE. The next day I went to take a look, my friend was very exited because we made a bet, if it was real I was going to buy it to him if it was not real he had to pay me 28 dollars.
Can you guess what happened??? This might sounds weird, but it was not a Samurai Sword, It was a Samurai Sword UMBRELLA!!!! Yes an Umbrella that looked like a Samurai Sword. It seems that the store found a cool product and put a big announcement “New Samurai Swords Cool Umbrella for Just $28 Usd. My friend never read the umbrella part of the announcement. I believe it’s a good lesson make sure it is what you want.
2.- I want the lady on the pic!!!!!
The other day I was exploring google , to see if I could find new things for my online store; you know new products or, information what ever. You know for me it sis very important to have cool info on the blog, and the store, to compare prices, all that.
I found a cool blog that had nothing to do with swords but it had some pics with beautiful ladies holding cool swords. The first thing that came to my mind was “Hey does the sword price includes the lady????” Jajaja of course it was not a serious question but at the end I thought about something that is practical for you.
When we are buying swords it is very important to see if it is sharp or not. Sometimes you want it to be a big, amazing, sharp sword;or some times you need to know how big it is or if it comes w/plaque. It is very useful to read the description and see what they say about the product.
3.- Whats your purpose???
“Why I want this sword for?”, must be your first question.
I have all types of clients, some of them have never bought a sword before and they believe they can use any sword for any purpose.
What you need to know is this not all swords are good for all purposes.
A good example, imagine you buy a great sword, you really like it. You come to my store and buy it for lets say 25% MRSP off. You know it is a very good price. One day you see your favorite medieval movie, now is the moment to use your sword. You try to use your brand new sword to cut a giant ice cube like they do on the movie. Guess what??? Your sword will disappoint you, it is not made for cutting.
So when you are buying a sword make sure what you want it for. If you want it for ornamental purposes, go ahead, buy a beautiful non battle ready sword. If you want to go fight against the terrible army of the Ice Cube Men, then buy a battle ready sword.
