How about opening a cafe for Photographers??? lol....

Why don't you ask him yourself?

The last time in Tokyo, I came across a pair of shoto and daito katanas, they cost 8 million yen.

According to the latest SGD-to-Yen exchange rate, 8 million yen is about SGD98,500.

Nothing fancy. I can cook up a meal for the family. Had to learn this when I was working overseas.

If my memory serves me right, there was an attempt some years ago. But did not succeed.

I had talked with Zhong Ling (Riceball) on such a concept a couple of days ago. He was thinking of such an idea too! But this has to succeed commercially, especially when it is in a good location, such as around the Peninsula area.

Are people willing to help make it succeed? It means going to him to buy books, etc.

It means spending money.

The type of mentality I see here in CS will be a guarantee that such a venture will fail quite certainly, and I will advise Zhong Ling to be more careful.

I think so too. That's why I prefer kitchen knives. More practical and useful. To use a katana to slice carrots is overkill.

FYI, the best of katanas can slice through a bullet in flight.

Check this out.

Doc, I couldn't agree with you more. Some people here are pain in the rear.

Hee... hee.... for riceball to survive, it is also already a big big challenge... I think.... I believe quite a bit of browser than actual buyer over there too... I have bought from him twice..... and hope that he can continue to survive in this tough environment...

A book shop cum cafe.... plus training ctr... all high cost... and no gurantee to survive.... nah... sg cost of doing any damn business is too high... before you start, you are already handicapped by taxes, and high cost...... ;(

You sure have a lot of such links.... but COOL siah!!! I thought only in comic do you see katana slice bullets... now, I know it is true... but the question... will you be able to actually anticipate the bullet path and strong enough to hold the blade at point of impact???

A good knife will be slicing as good as a katana I suppose.... so it is still useful in many ways.... ;)
