Does anyone have an opinion on wich sword art is the best to use? any help appreciated

Anonymous Unregistered	Your best bet would be to find a bladesmith who will take you on as an apprentice, but it will not be quick. A traditional Japanese apprenticeship takes four years, and others take even longer; I know of some twelve years long. There was a very long topic on this in the Angelsword forums. I hope you find it useful.
