He called it --- no kidding --- "Crouching Tiger" or "Hidden Dragon" or "Tiger Hiding Behind the Crouching dragon" --- something like that. There was a movie that came out about when I got it. He had some funny names. I always liked the idea of naming swords.

I had a good relationship with Alex, but bought one of his modern pieces on eBay and was not happy with it. I felt his quality was slipping. Returns sparked problems with his sister here in the USA.

This spawned me giving her a negative FB. One of the very few I have given. I felt it was necessary.

Lost touch with Alex.

He seemed to have a good heart for the Chinese sword.
