No worries on the snipe; all's fair in bids & war. ;-)
Actually, more than anything I was impressed. It came in at literally the last second. Excellent sharp shooting. Bravo!
Wow. That makes sense given what I know about the UK (I have a few friends "across the pond"), but I never would have put that together myself. Though it is good to know that I have one less sniper to worry about on anything with "dagger" in the description

.
Ok, I'm intensely curious about what a "9 inch samurai sword" would look like. Made for a very small man?
Or a euphemism for a very "large" man?
Have fun, and enjoy your wonderful kris
