Young" Subject: [chakram-refugees] PBS--Katana Swords 6/24/08 For those of you who like knives and swords like I do, I saw this really cool show last night (Tues. 6/24/08) on PBS about the Japanese katana sword's tradition and how it's made, etc. *Very* interesting. ;) If you missed it, it might be streamed online like some of their other shows at the URL below: - ---------- NOVA (Encore) Tuesday, June 24 at 8:00pm "Secrets of the Samurai Sword" English archers had their longbows, Old West sheriffs had their six-guns, but samurai warriors had the most fearsome weapon of all: the razor-sharp, unsurpassed technology of the katana, or samurai sword. In this program, NOVA probes the centuries-old secrets that went into forging what many consider the perfect blade. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/samurai/ - ---------- - --Jackie ****************************************************** * Proud to have the same birthday as Lucy Lawless! * * * * "I think New Zealand geographically comes from * * ...
