Maybe try clicking on select language??

Pix three shows it well runs right along the edge....

@Ronniebeisme they have the SOS in Louisville in february. We have some very knowledgeable members that set up at the Show of Shows. Mainly gun show but @Mark and @Grey Doffin are usually there. One can't get much better info than from them. http://www.sosovms.com/Show_of_Shows/

Wondering what happened to @Ronniebeisme Hope he wasn't put off.

Did you click on my link it gave the transaction

Ask him to refund no charge to him by ebay.

Haha Johns was the was one that started it.....back to my room sorry for side track.

That was a good catch @reinhard I didn't see that small thumbnail just the other side

That is if they have a web link, you can't message seller a email address or even a picture of one. Got big warning from trying.

I seen what you did there 😆

Expanding the Tsuka photos. Fuchi and Kashira and sarute all need a closer look and add value to it IMO. seldom see square off sarute, usually rounded. Oh and menuki look interesting too. May I ask where you live Ron? If your close to a show that's where you'll get your greatest value. Like Simon said tread lightly for quick offers...

OT we have a post on types of sarute. Johns above lovely example is the one I was hunting for in my files it's chevron had black n red and gold gilt ...I'd have to think expensive for the officer. Maybe @Bruce Pennington knows the thread. Carry on great thread.

First off I don't dislike like anyone on board, didn't mean to have anything deleted. I ve been around Nihonto for some time, and have seen a beast of a sword at shows, also ducked a sword at Tampa show when a new student let his sword fly out of his hands doing his kata. I figured the weight of the blade helped in sensei success. The clip is biased, highly edited to show fail after fail, then success with more matts. Thanks for your explanation Michael. Was hoping for swingers to chime in is all.. Peace be with you all in what may be a very interesting New Year.

Handsome healthy blade, morning pix should be full tang shot, blade up , closeups of hamon activity. Very Desirable to me.

Also how long it is from tip to notch where habaki fits the blade

For a better I D I'd show blade like this without fittings. It's a older blade in handachi mounts

Probably Seki

To add to my collection. Iron is fine it can be in air also

Any more dead horse around?

I'd love too but a few things say no sigh

Kicking around going but not if there's going to be crossing of swords.

What I was thinking Sam, following for our cutters on board.
