  1. Making a proper Saya is difficult process. John Terado or Brian Tschernaga both in the USA di e excellent work.
  2. It looks like something that a person who sells would put in his/her window.
  3. Hi Ron I do not think that the f/k was made by either Omori or Mito smiths.
  4. Yes! Buy books! First sword and first sword book were bought in 1976. Every year I buy more books. In 2023 I bought 5 or 6. I look forward to buying more in 2024.
  5. Google lens gave a pretty good translation.
  6. Sad news indeed. Rich provided and continues to provide a terrific amount of information. R!P...
  7. Norishige was not a Ko Uda smith. He was a Soshu smith who lived in Etchu.
  8. I think that the resolution of the electron microscope will be too high for you to get much relevant information. The most that I use is about 40X magnification and this is just to look at small areas of interest.
  9. Thanks, Peter! I passed the essence of the article on to several friends who practice Tai Chi as it fits so well.
  10. Thank you Bob for providing this wonderful thread. I look forward to seeing your new acquisitions. This thread needs to be pinned as it is a wonderful resource. George and Ford have made great contributions to the thread. The pieces that you have shared with us set a high level for collectors to reach for.
  11. Congrats! Let me know if you get tired of it.
  12. I was going to write lovely but then I saw gorgeous. He is right.
  13. I really enjoyed the Florida Token Kai group. I was a member for years even though I live in Canada. They ran a great sword show in Tampa in February. I enjoyed their publications too. The last time that I saw Troy he was in a wheelchair and attending the show. I miss that group and their show too.
