  1. Dear All, I have read chrisf's comments with regard to his purchase of a sword, which was out of polish and sold by Koaisshin Antiques. As we all know when we buy a Nihon-To - if a sword is out of polish then we all take a certain gamble when we buy a sword privately until the sword is polished. Heavens, I have bought numerous swords and then sent them to be polished and they sometimes turn out to be great and some not so. I suspect that there is a lot more to this that 'chrisf' is telling... I suggest to all, including the administrator of this excellent resource that derogatory comments about sword collectors and dealers should not be debated here. If I did the same as chrisf I would be slandering 'great' people and dealers like Billy Tagg, Peter Yorke, Regimentals, Military Antiques and the list would go on and on! It is something I would not do and I think it poor taste. When you buy an out of polish sword there is risk - end of story! I think the message here is: know your subject, ask lots of questions, view every item you buy and accept there is an element of risk when you buy unpolished Nihon-To.
