Is there a big difference between Last Legend's 05 series competition katanas and their Pro Sword series?
I have a Pro Sword Katana and Wakizashi set and I am in the market for a new set and I was wondering if the regular competition series shinken are better than the pro sword series? My Pro Sword daisho was good when it came to the blades but I was greatly disappointed with everything else, the fittings were to loose on the waki. and the Katana's tang was held secure in the tsuka by a shipping band and its Ito wasn't tied as secure as it should be! Not to mention the presentation box it came with was busted out the bottom by the time I recieved it (made out of crap wood) but that is besides the point. But I ask if their competition katana are better because I know the pro sword series isn't actually made by Last Legend at their forge. Is their competition blades (and fittings/tsuka) as good as they say? and do they seem to be made as traditional as they claim? From their competition series I am considering purchasing a Taketoshi family 3000 series Jishin (the dual steel 4096 layer blade) but im not completely sold on it! Im also considering just saving up longer and getting bugei's Liondog (shi shi) daisho!

Usually the fittings and workmanship match the blade quality. If you are saving up to buy the bugei Liondog why don't you just buy another line of bugei katana. You could also send your blade to have new fittings and the tsuka rewrapped instead of buying a whole new blade. A good source for this would be www.japanese-swords.com.
Here is a link to some work I had done on a cold steel warrior series katana.

I support England so I hope they do well!! If they keep the big guns (Flintoff, Harmison, Pietersen, Hoggard etc) in then they have a good chance of keeping the Ashes. Freddie was invincible last year!!! I hope they send Monty over as well because he has more than proved himself with his bowling against Pakistan this year. I love Monty!!! But the Aussies will be on Home Turf and they will be champing at the Bit to regain the Ashes so they are going to put up one hell of a fight, I can guess! England will also be pretty determined to hang onto the Ashes so they will hopefully be up for the challenge! This winter is going to be a really interesting series and my BF and I as cricket fans can't wait! I'm due to give birth to our first child on 8 December so I can imagine we'll have the cricket on in the labour ward TV!!! We'll be telling the midwife to "Sshhh" and stop distracting us, heheheh!!!
