    Different blades shapes throughout the Ages can only be done on same swords category. You can’t mix shoto and daito

    Cannon balls

    Bungo butted in? By the way, have you have seen him in his full cavalry uniform? He seems coming right out of Fort Apache movie https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201767966474128&set=a.1483589302949.62754.1630356414&type=3

    Look at yamato hosho/Tegai. http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/17414-achieved-collection-gokaden/ The masame is so tight that it is almost impossible to picture

    And one of Mitsuyo, I have always been fascinated by Miike school. The original sword is described as having a funbari which shows that the definition of funbari is quite loose: http://www.tsuruginoya.com/mn1_3/a00489.html

    Chris, Don’t forget that in addition it is suriage...

    Guido, Don’t be to harsh. Let Jacques teach Japanese to Tsuruginoya owners

    Axel, Yes and for 2 good reasons: 1 - during Muromachi so many swords were forged that the majority having survived are ubu. 2 - during Edo, no wars, so no reasons to have swords forged modified.

    Thanks a lot Piers Yes, it is suriage, have a look at the Hi ends on both sides and at the kiri yasurimei on the ura side

    Michael, I was just discussing the price. 880 000 ¥ is a ridiculous price for a TH Kagemitsu, Japanese dealers are no fools. Price is interesting even if ware as there are Kanteisho and Tanobe sayagaki attesting the maker, it is an historical blade. I posted Darcy’s blade to show that there is a huge difference in price between his Kagemitsu and Fred’s one

    Piers, Is it possible to give a quick translation (main lines) of Tsuruginoya comments on the blade and of its issues? Ken, 880 000 ¥
  12. Jean
    Mitsu?
  13. Jean
    Michael, This one was for sale for 40k$ and submitted to Juyo Shinsa http://www.nihonto.ca/osafune-kagemitsu/index.html

    Pete - if I win the Euro Million, I’ll offer it to you and we will go to DTI to collect it
  18. Jean
    No Bruce, it was not junk as it was your dad’s. Sentimental value is the best one
  19. Jean
    Received it two days ago, a lot of tokuju blades, a surprising Muramasa hitatsura tanto, a few ko Bizen, a couple of Kunitoshi... BTW, if someone wants free tickets for DTI, just tell me, indicating your full address
  20. Jean
    Jon, Will it be available as e-book soon?
  21. Jean
    Jean, Nothing can happen to Stephen, he is already Oyabun
  22. Jean
    Never needed Sylvain as I did not go as far as katchu
  23. Jean
    I told you already that’s was the main issue. Tell her you will dust it threetimes a week, that’s the last one, that you’ll never do it again...
  24. Jean
    Gimeï
  25. Jean
    Thanks a lot Ian for the information. So, elements quality is what to be appraised, together with what looks the katchu, once assembled.
