Long Katana, Wakizashi, Katana - Translation Please
Stephen replied to Widok4's topic in Translation Assistance
has anyone tried to contact Janusz? after looking at his web site http://widok4.pl/index.php?s=oferta&id=6 i have questions in last sword, x naga. the mei was talked about three years ago on this board viewtopic.php?f=1&t=146&hilit=akinaga so far no response ....or maybe its just me that hes not getting back to. -
Bob IMHO pass on it and save for a sound wak in good mounts, youll be glad you did. Dont even think about the katana something really wrong with the kissaki

see your facebook for my Bday wishes, keep breathing youll get to be a ripe ol age....take it from a ripe one 64 is pretty ripe.
-
checking it twice to make sure? lest you got the same answer from SFI

Yes stop the red rust, lightly, no hard rubbing. If its thick bubbling rust tap it with something thats not metal. Ive see top togi do this so not to worry.
-
best way is to have a fire sale to get rid of it.

Steve No I did not take the camera the first day and it was gone then next. Lovely work, and mei was like the one in the book. Bruno Pierre has been doing it for many years, when you have that long you'll smile and say I understand now.
-
if they are, there sure to be kizu heavy

Bruno Thank you for thinking of me, I do not think this is the same smith. Hai Domo!

Must have hit new topic...sorry mods .....please delet Here Button HERE as in top tool bar next to FAQ is a search button. ok from your pix it looks like a light struck showa stamp, it could be gifu. does your lens have macro setting? please send link to Kanetsugu the ebay auction.

do a search here for Kanemune it may be what your looking for...it was (the stamp) at the end of the nakago, not next to the habaki....youll see more in the search for.

Thanks for clearing that up G man, a old story that took legs and got bigger.

Not sure what your saying but don't think they care what you say, just that its showa to then could take it from you and destroy it.
-
had to do it
-
Ray any pix of his work?
-
well ...state what your talking about
-
Daido something rolling around in the brain....a saying ....great way? or preist?

I had the pleasure of looking at a blade by this smith at a military show this weekend last. very tight ko choji crab claw hamon and wonderful mokume hada. If you have a Kanetsugu in your collection id like to see more of his work if you'd care to email them to me. Alas it was in trade to another seller as I was looking him up. Hope when the time comes for the blade to be back on the market ill be with buying power. page 71 of Sloughs book for the smith.

might rethink that, it may not come back to you and be broken then trashed. Id save your hard earned money. have a local polish it if you really want it done that bad and forget the papers.
