Hi Greg this was discussed recently but for the life of me I cant remember what it was. Something to do with archery maybe. My memory (lack of)is just frustrating . Greg

Georgeous tsuba Gabe, having Mt Fuji on it makes for a great souvenir imo. Greg

What Is The Most Sought After Blade Under 10,000Us$
Greg F replied to barnejp's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
If I had $10,000 for Nihonto I would be grabbing a deal from Joe here on Nmb. Greg -
All your blades are really beautiful Joe, unfortunately I cant afford it this year. Who ever is quick enough to get in first will be lucky to get such a nice Christmas present. All the best Joe. Greg

I liked the kettle but definitely not at that price. Thanks Stephen. Greg

Georgeous blade Joe. Greg -
Hi Chris, I have a sword made and polished from Simon Lee and its very nice considering its made in China but these look a little different to me unless its the lighing or someone else did the polishing on these. As far as China made blades go Simon Lee is definitely one of the best imo. He mentioned to me years ago that people were buying his blades and selling them as old Nihonto so who knowx maybe these are. It would be interesting to ask him. Regards Greg

Really nice Chris, congratulations. Greg

Hi Jeremiah, its from Ninja 3 domination. He also did Pray for death, Enter the Ninja, Revenge of the ninja, black eagle (also starring Van Damme as the bad guy) and he was in a more recent one called Ninja assassin which I enjoyed. His movies were the beginning of my interest in Japanese martial arts and Samurai so not so bad lol. Sorfy for the distraction from the topic. That kettle is pretty cool. Does anyone know the price? Greg

Greg F replied to GARY WORTHAM's topic in Sword Shows, Events, Community News and Legislation Issues
Hi Gary any chance of Masahiro pics? A Dti is on my bucket list. Greg -
Im far far from being an expert but if that fake its the best I recall seeing. Greg
-
Thanks Brian I will do a search. If anyone has other examples they are happy to share Please do. Its nice to see variations. Regards Greg
-
Yeah not a big loss, more of a early leaning experience lol. Thanks Steve thats kind of you mate. Greg

Hi Steven, dont be sorry mate im not surprised in the slightest. I knew it was not a good piece,I like the box better than the tsuba and was curious what it said on the box. It was one of my first tsuba and back then i thought it was ok but Its definitely not one of my better tsuba. I would've been surprised if the box matched the tsuba. Unfortunately a mino tsuba that I have wont fit in the box otherwise I could swap them over. Cheers Greg

Here it is. A very common design that ive seen better examples of and much worse examples too. Is the date from showa because the seller said it was from edo period. If I remember correctly Ray had a nice blade for sale a while ago with a finer example of this tsuba design. Thanks for the help getting this translated gentlemen. Greg
-
Hell Steven and Peter, When I get home from work tonight I will put up the tsuba pics. Its quite big and heavy. Im interested in seeing what your opinion on it as I think it is not defined or detailed enough and it seems like something has been applied as patina to the nanako area to darken it. Oh and thank you Steve for the translation. Long live Nmb. Regards Greg

Please dont be sorry John. Your time and efforts are very much appreciated mate. Thank you. Greg
