Oh my little stars and comets.

I’ve been talking with a chinese forge for a few months. They make reproductions of Han dynasty swords - both Jain and Dao. I have been wanting one of their dao for sometime but haven’t had the money.

A few weeks ago they ask me my contact information to put me on their testers list. I’m flattered and give them it and forget about it.

I’m making breakfast this morning and there is a knock at the door. Delivery guy doing the dump and run. I bring a long thin package in. Chinese characters on the customs forms. WTF?

Oh sweet light, it’s a Roaring Dragon Chu double handed Jian.

I have no clue why they sent me this glorious 100 cm of steel but I am tickled. Time to contact them.
