would be hard to tell from the pix but at that angle it looks ok, i have to go with the repo ...sorry

Wakazashi, with a different Tsuba and new same and menuki + foil on habaki that would be a nice set. I don't mind the battle cuts at all. Skipper the wak you got from him is very nice also.
-
Yes i know mike via ebay quires hes one of the good guys, did not make the link in my mind...oldtimers ya know....also check the link for Yakibas auctions below in auction some nice stuff there.

This is a unsolicited endorsement for some of Ed's of Yakiba auctions, many times a lot of newbie's and collectors of few years ask where to find sound swords, there are more than a few with this list. Got to love that O-Dachi! Also a sound katana that would be a great first sword. If i had the beans id go for the shinsakuto. enjoy http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZem7576QQhtZ-1

I have not counted it out yet, close ups of the fitting would help also...copys are getting so close now days it takes a very close eye. The Nakago will tell all.
-
grain pattern above the shinogi due to burnishing which makes me think repo also the lack of polish on kissaki, show the nakago and well go from there.

i think the file was too large, here it is for the board to learn from.

this looks the right way to me....i have heard some smiths did sign backwards...this may be the one of a few that did.
-
looks to have been punched instead of drilled...id go with the Koto.
-
what Digital Camera do you use...I cant find Darcy's link on photographing Nihonto...anyone have it on file?
-
I know we went over this before but if must have been it the old board, cant find it in files, does anyone use or have used Cybershot 6MP Digital Camera - Silver (DSC-H2) by Sony, I want to do some closeups of a blade or two that may be for sale soon. The price is right and dont want to go much higher. Thanks for any input.

Ronin love these nuks where did you find them http://www.esnips.com/doc/beb422d9-cce8 ... 7/CSC_0044

Most of the hits on JSI show Yoshikuni as a maker of gendaito...not sure if this the same guy or not. http://search.freefind.com/servlet/free ... =yoshikuni the deep chip would take alot of steel so youd be looking at at least 2500 in polishing then shirasaya....you get the picture, if you buy it like RT says best just injoy it for what it is, alot of uchikoing would most likly make the activy stand out and for that price youd always have something to work on for the cheap.
