To Whom It May Concern,

	I had a chance this past weekend to face the new siloflex swords.
 Being the Knight Marshal of the Shire of Seareach, I  would have to
express interest.  But in this case my interest is genuine.  I didn't get
to use it, but I was Hit by it.  I like it, liked it so much I went to
Lowe's looking for it.  By Odin's Eye, if I didn't embarrass myself!!
	What in the world is this stuff used for Mundanely?  I checked
with the indoor and outdoor plumbing departments they sent me to the
indoor and outdoor electrical departments, hoping for a streak of good
luck I asked the construction department for help,  guess where they sent
me??
	I just got on-line a week or so ago, I missed the initial
low-down on this siloflex.  I have seen the letters on who should test it
and about the flex it has against a shield.  I have heard of two ways to
construct one (via His Highness Cuan and Lord Alric) and approx. price
and length.  Mainly I'd like to make my own even if I'll only be allowed
to use it against my pell. 
	 I do think think as Knight Marshal of Seareach I have an
obligation to my people to let them know about this siloflex, but my info
is scarce.  If any one could send me the relevant info on this subject it
would be appreciated.

In Service to the Dream,
Nikolai Bearslayer
