Haha yeah! I was surprised how well it looked, sorry for the break, i saved several pictures with a different size without starting from a copy, but since the first time i saw the photo's I've been in love with the sword! Also I'm wondering how you (most likely far more experienced on the matter of nihonto) look at a tachi like this one. What kind of terms would you use to describe the hamon, jigane etc. And i just love the look of the nagako, even though its dated to 1860, its form looks so modern it could've been made yesterday! Would love to hear about some of your thoughts:) Axel

Thanks for your interest Thomas!, John! Here are more pictures of the Hisayuki, its such a gorgeous thing. I won't spoil anything else, just watch it:)

Hi John, I have a loooot of pictures. Is it Ok to post them all? Also is it OK to say who i got these from? (actually they're not yet at my place, still in the production process for the koshirae). I'll start with the whole swords, and the tang. The Hisayuki; The Nagamichi (sorry don't have a good photo of the other side of the tang); Axel PS: is there a limit to attachments on this forum?

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, but i've been lurking for a little while. I registered now because in November last year, i decided after years of thinking/dreaming about it to go all in for a true Japanese sword. Eventually i decided on creating a daisho (in antique f/k/menuki/tsuba) but new saya and body. The swords are as follows: Dai: a tachi by Hisayuki Sho: a wakizashi by Shodai Nagamichi I'm willing to hear what you guys think of it, of the combination of the 2. And whether or not I spend my savings on something not worth it! Anyway open to any comments/critics. Also see a picture of the 2 swords below. They're certified tokubetsu kicho and tokubetso hozon. And i had the tachi sent to the NTHK-NPO for yushuto examination last year December, which it passed! And I was thinking of trying the Nagamichi this year in December. Nearly all my savings are in this, but its really been like a dream to actually own one or a pair! Thank you for viewing, Axel
