Sword Information

Here is a little information that I thought would be useful to all of you. I seem to get a lot of E-Mails regarding these subjects so I figured it would be easier to tell everyone instead of E-Mailing all of you individually. If you have any further questions, please feel free to E-Mail us any other questions you may have.
