    I read wit interest the upcoming baltimore show for me its a hop skip and jump . 2 things were a bit questionable, about 1 month after san francisco i believe is a bit too soon, the other that was real toublesome was the cost of a table $250.00 which i feel is quite exhorbitant any one out there agree ?

    Marzio nice blade BUT as mentioned cant see boshi this would be a big no no at 2800 euros or dollars speak to togishi to confirm LKMD
  15. lbkmd43
    kiri cut tip not uncommon no visible yasurime rare would loke to see area under the habaki to rule out a weld pretty blade needs close investigation the chinese collected nihonto at the end of the war and cut off all the nakagos and planned to use them as police sabers in this sword we have a nice blade with an unusual nakago hmmmmmmmm makes one think sww if you can get b etter bictures of nakago under habaki LKMD
  16. lbkmd43
    agree with the majority no original yasurime left o suriage and visible masame improved by etching LKanarek MD

    In my humble opinion this is not nagamitsus work shape is wrong (sori)hamon is way off horse tooth choji most common suguha on early works san saku boshi is missing choji is not the tadpoile of earlier bizen smiths but matches later bizen smiths (sukesadas) I have nagamitsu kagemitsu and kanemitsu as well as yasumitsu not close to them PS hada is too weak for nagamitsu LKanarekMD
