Hi Gary, it would be nice to have all of these swords in one topic to save confusion. Really appreciate you sharing your collection with us, some outstanding examples.

Do you mean to keep adding on to a single post ?

[ChrisW]

I think he does mean that yes!
 

I have a question too. Are these all blades that you own personally? If so, fantastic collection!

[Tengu1957]

OK , thanks I will add to existing posts for the rest. These are part of my collection.

What would be awesome too would be to have the swords fully documented, with not just nakago pictures but at least 1 pic showing the whole sugata, and 1 showing a close up of Hada/Hamon.

I am working away from home, when I go back for Thanksgiving next week I will do that.
