Generation 2 Katana and Ninja Sword

QUESTION: I was wondering if you've had any experience with Generation 2 katanas. I'm already aware of the quality of Generation 2 swords after reading a few of your reviews on them, but I'm really curious to whether or not the same quality we can expect to get when buying their Black Prince can also be expected when buying their BWT Katana or Ninja Sword. Although the BWT may be a bit pricey, I figured the cost of one minus one of your SBG coupons would just fit under the sub $300 price range. I'm sure the ninja sword would fit under the price range as it is exactly $300. I guess it would all depend on whether or not you could find a site that sold them that would also except your coupons. Well, I just thought I'd throw this question at you to see if you can say any good things about Gen2's katanas.

ANSWER: Hi Terry,

They are actually very nice swords for the money, though it is hard to get the BWT Katana to be under the $300 price range as it is around $369 at the moment...

The biggest issue though is that I am not certain if Clyde from Gen2 will be continuing to make them. Competition from other forges makes it hard for him to move them, and I have heard rumblings that they may be discontinued soon...
