tetsugendo at the SF show friends at the table

To All,

We will be at the SF show this year, and it seems like it will be a great one. A larger than usual crowd is expected from what i hear, and here are some of our new "friends" that will be at our table. In addition to many new tosogu, some blades will be Sa Sadayoshi Juyo Token, Aoe Naotsugu Juyo Token (1 of 30 last year that passed), Suishinshi Masahide with original mount (will be used for the lecture) and several tachi mounted blades at a show special price.

Hope to see all there,

and for something very interesting....

Ohhhhhh -- I'm a sucker for the octopussessesssssss!!! LOL!!!

Are these items going to be for sale at the upcoming show?

Yes.some of these items will be available at the show, and some will be part of a display for everyone to enjoy (new idea that we are thinking about if we have the room - haven't decided yet what we want to do yet), but they will all be at our table.

Can we maybe have a shot of the back side of those octopii?

Lovely fittings to be seen there.

ok, only for you Brian, I will not be answering anymore posts until I finish getting ready for the show, as we will leave a bit early to go see some friends that are arriving early at the show.

if anyone going to the show would want it inquire on the price of Octopii, i would be most greatfull and even extra $ via PP for some beers.

Hi Mike Y.,

I have the flu and I am home form work likely for the remainder of the week at I work in a Hospital. Maybe it is a good thing I am not getting in a airplane this year to visit the SF show getting everyone on the airplane as well as the show sick. Thanks for posting the great photos of the wonderful tosogu you will be having at the show for those that can't make it.

The Octopus menkuki are really fine. I would say Goto or if unsigned Ko-Goto or possiblely a superior Waki-Goto work of art. Looking at how wonderful they were finish on the ura side is testament to the fine quality and superior craftsmanship. Take care and have a safe trip. See you in Tampa next year.

Yours truly,

David Stiles

heard the octpii sold before show opened...dont ya know.

Sooo, did one of you guys get those octopus menuki ???????? They were nice.

Octopodes!

I happened to see them, they were huge, of real quality and would have bought them myself if it hadn't been the new owner who showed them to me...

I knew those would change hands. Nice menuki.
