Blademaid.com has been experiencing some difficulties updating pages and posting new materials. As for right now the Mid-line/Economy page for Japanese swords is still down. Completed, but still down. As we work to resolve the issue, please feel free to read through the other available pages here at blademaid.com, we apologize for the inconvenience.

Just as a heads up, there will occasionally be pages that go missing for a while. Do not worry, it is not that I am deleting them. The reason that the pages disappear is simply for updating purposes. For example, you will notice that the “Mid-line/Economy $50-150″ page has gone missing under Japanese Swords. This is because i am currently adding content and/or reconstructing the page.
With this new update, I will be adding multiple links per item so that you can browse and shop around at different places and find out which best suites you. Eventually every section (i.e. Cheap, Mid-line, etc.) will have multiple links for every sword, h0wever i am just starting with the mid-line section. Thanks again! And keep your eyes peeled for the resurgence of the new page! (of course, i will let you all know with a new post…haha)

I’m putting together a testimonials page so that people have a better grasp of the quality service that i offer. If you have had either an appraisal or a cleaning done by us, it would be greatly appreciated if you could give a brief testimonial so that others are aware of your experiences here. Once again, thanks to all who have used Blade Maid Sword Services for their appraisals and cleanings, your business means a lot to us.

I’ve listed this site with condron.us to gain a little bit of exposure! Hopefully BMSS will see a trafic spike with this new system. Traffic has been a little sluggish lately, but i’ve got some page updates in the works so keep your eyes peeled! If you would like, you can subscribe to either the comments or posts made on this site by using the subscription links at the top of the page. best of luck! I’ll have those pages updated soon!

I’m working on an update for the Midline/Economy page for Japanese swords. The page should be available for viewing within the next week or so. There have been many different choices for good swords within this price range so it has been difficult to narrow it down to a reasonable amount. Hopefully it will suite everyone.
A thank you to everyone who has offered feedback to me for this site! As a result i have added a counter and the Year to Date section to the sidebar, as well as the Meebo chat section. If you have any other suggestions of things that i could add to the site, please feel free to suggest them via the Contact Me page.

Thanks to all who have let me appraise their swords! Already for 2009 we’ve reached 40 appraisals! Since getting this website up and running, i’ve had more appraisals in the first three months than i had in all of 2008! I really appreciate, and would like to thank everyone who has given me the chance to appraise their swords this year. As an independent appraiser it can be very hard to find people who are willing to let you appraise their items. Most people feel more comfortable paying hundreds of dollars to go through an appriasal society, which is fine, albeit ridiculously expensive!
That is where Blade Maid Sword Services can be of help to you! My independent appraisals are just as accurate as a high priced society appraiser’s and they cost much less money. If you are looking for information about your sword but don’t have the available funds to take it to a high profile appraiser, please consider purchasing my services. You will not be disappointed!
For more information regarding my independent appraisals, click the link below to go to the page to see rates and other information! Thanks again to everyone who has bought so far! I’d kiss you if i could!

I’ll be keeping a tally of the number of appraisals and cleanings that i’ve been doing for the year in a box on the right side, just a little something to let you get a feel for the number of these things i’ve been doing! Oh, and don’t forget, I also have cleaning services available to anyone who wants their sword(s) cleaned! For information on this you can head over to the Cleaning page!

Cheers!

Is there a sword on your shelf that you have not touched in a couple of years? Chances are that rust has started to blosom in some places on the blade. Well do not worry. I offer a cleaning service that can take care of that problem! I use the traditional methods of Uchiko powder and Choji oil to stop the active rusting and seal out moisture that could furture damage the blade. If you are unsure of how to take care of your blades or just dont feel like you have the time to, choose Blade Maid to take care of it. If you’re interested jump on over to my ‘Cleaning’ page under ‘Services’ for all of the details! And remember if you have any questions please feel free to contact me about anything. Thanks!

Cheers!
