Michael, good choice. Many nice blades from the Nihonto Tanren Denshujo. I have a sword by Akitaka(Nakabayashi Fukutarō) with beautiful Jigane and a lovely Hamon full of nie. I also got a sword by Akimoto Akitomo with a beautiful well packed even Ko itame. None for sale I'm afraid but good luck in your search for one. If you find one, please share some photos.

 

Best Regards

Daniel

Nice choice - even though there was quite a rift between Shigetsugu (the lineage I collect) and Akihide, there is a lot of similarities in style - given Shigetsugu trained many of the "Aki" smiths. What's your ballpark budget? There are a lot of good "Aki" smiths out there and they command a pretty penny.
