Sword Site
"I created Sword-Site because there was no genuine resource for students of the sword out there. Sure there are plenty of discussion forums, but getting useful information out of them requires sifting through many, many irrelevant posts, often only to come upon nothing or the tiniest pieces of useful information. On said forums people generally post images of swords but provide no sources, measurements or any other critical data along with it. Furthermore the information is never organized in a useful way. Sword-Site is different. Here you will find volumes of useful data, well organized, and provided in a way that is easy to access. Better yet this site actually cites references; the hallmark of university level research, which separates Sword-Site from the blowhards."
