  1. Okay, here are some more pics, I re-wrapped the Tuska myself because it sitting on the sword stand not being wrapped really bugged me, I plan on sending it out to have it dont professionally, so please dont get offended by that, or hold the sword at fault because of this. I drew some red lines on the blade to show the Hamon, not the bast line drawing, but not very easy with just the mouse. The fitting on this sword are really nice, and the Muniki are of the dancing man type. The KasheZuno, and Kurikata are made from bone, seems to be a silver Kojiri on the end of the Saya, and is recessed really nice into the Saya. I posted better pics of the O-Kissaki, hope these will do for now, and the Seppa's seem to be gold leaf foil covered, and the Habaki seems to be solid silver also thanks Brian
  2. I had another member in here tell me that it unusual to have this type of Kissaki on it, he too said it would be worthy a good polish, and yes it will be sent out to have it polished, just have to call, and add it to the waiting list. Really short blade with such an O-Kissaki on it. Brian
  3. Sorry, yes Brian, that is what I meant, and thank you for the link. I really do love the O-Kissaki on it, and the Hamon style. Brian

    Kiku mon?

    Is this what you are meaning ? Brian
  5. Okay, I have this sword, and the Boshi on it is really nice, I really love these type of blades. The question I need to know is, the Boshi on this is either ; Ikari-O-Kissaki, or O-Kissaki type Boshi only. I know the blade is from the Shinshinto Era. The Hamon is Ko-Notare, cant really see it in the pics, but as i turn the blade in the light, it does come through. The Ha is a little bit over 15', and the total length is a little bit over 20". The Nakago seems Ubu, and is Mumei. The Hamon runs all the way through the Boshi, no cut off, or disturbance in it at all, so if anyone is asking if it has been an repaired blade, or if the O-Kissaki is original to this blade, It looks like this blade was originally made this way. It does need a good polish. Thank you Brian
  6. @ Franco. Thank you, much appreciated. Brian
  7. Yes, I bought it from there, and the eBay is a member in here also, that's not what i was asking, I've read some on the history, and such, and was curious if anyone else had an similar sword as this one also, and if they had anymore info about the the Gassan School, that's all, nothing else. How common was the almost no curvature Sori on it. Brian
  8. Yes, a very beautiful set. Thanks for sharing it. Brian
  9. Okay, Ive looked and cannot find too much info about a sword I own now, it was made by the Gassan , Suishinshi School(Yamato Den), from the Late Edo era, Shinshinto Period. The blade seems to be almost straight with hardly any Sori to it, does anyone else own a sword comparable to this. Please let me know Thanks Brian
  10. I've bought many swords from Fwic2803, always a pleasure to deal with, and plan on buying many more from him in the future. Brian
  11. Okay, I understand that, but since this one has NBTHK papers, that does confirm the blade and signature on it, right ? Brian
  12. The seller had it listed in Japan for sale and also on ebay, this would be my 3rd sword from him. Never bought one with the Kanji written on the shirasaya like that before. And I dont read Japanese, if it was in German, that's a little different now. Curious, do they write the swords info on the outside of the sword as a sellers tool to sell it, since this one is signed, and has papers with it also. Brian
  13. Yeah, so I recently bought this one, and curious what the Kanji says, as I don't read Japanese. Dont need or want info about the sword, just the translation on what it says. Brian
  14. I do not read, but I need to start learning, but could some one in here please translate the Kanji on this Shirasaya for me. Thank you, and much appreciated, it is Early Shinto period, with NBTHK papers. Brian
  15. Can you put some pics of it up, or send pics to me in the PM section.. I would love to it. Brian
  16. @ Eric He makes it look so easy, thanks for sharing that, beautiful workmanship, truly an art form. I wonder what he would charge to have an sword built for someone. Brian
  17. I recently bought another Wakazashi from him, signed Shinshu Ju Morishige and with NBTHK papers with it also. This will be my 4th sword from him, and never a problem, plan on buying more from him in the future. I forgot to mention it is in full shirasaya , with Kanji script written on the shirasaya also. Brian
  18. Why can't more people practice this; " I guess for both oldies and newbies if we got nothing good to say - say nothing. " Brian
  19. Yes, I did buy that blade from him, and for the price I paid I'm not worried about it, I understand what people say, but there was something about it, that attracted it to me, I saw the Boshi had some issues, and to be honest i was not too worried about it. I will be happy with it. I'm still looking for an elusive sword that a couple people told me about that KaneZane did make a some very limited Wakizashi's, or tanto's before he started making war times blade's. That I would love to own. Brian
  20. @ Brian Yes i do listen to them, but I wanted a sword that I knew had some problems, and was not going to pay too much, I posted that the Boshi did have a fatal flaw, i personally do like the looks of the polish on this blade. I have learned a lot in here, but i will still buy certain items that catch my eye, i can learn from this blade, if i don't know what to look out for in a bad blade, or a blade that had flaws, how else should i learn , as there are no shows in my area for me to attend, I have plans for this weekend to be down at the Museum exhibit in Kentucky, and look at the swords on display. I have bought some nice blades from some very well known collectors, and other members in here, I do own some beautiful polished, papered swords now, and the only Shows Era swords i own are Kanezane, as i have sold off the rest of them. I don't consider buying this sword to be a mistake, I can only learn so much from a book, and i need to have a blade in my hands for viewing to learn from it, don't you agree ? It was cheap enough that I can learn from it, as I have from my other swords as well. Brian
  21. I never expected you to agree with anything I say or post, you never do, even when I posted fully polished, and papered swords, you still had nothing nice to say about them. So why would I expect for you to now. Brian
