Hi Peter, Good interview. Its always good to hear about the process of forging a blade from an actual professional smith rather than from an observer. Thanks. Greg

Hi Guys, watching a smith at work would be a special treat! Thanks Ken I will try fit that one in. Guido it must have been such a great experience to live in Japan. So glad you started this topic Steve, with such helpful replies from people that have been there and done that. My fiancee says she is happy to do any of the stuff I want to fit into our trip if weve got the time and can save enough funds which is a big bonus. Much appreciated. Greg

Hi Steve im going to plan my honeymoon in Japan and it will be my 1st time also (very exciting) and was thinking of asking similar questions. Axel that edo style village on ghe 8th floor of a skyscraper sounds like a fun place and a friend of mine is in Japan at the moment and he sent me some pics from Tokyo National Museum to tease me.Good luck.

Understanding Differences In Craftsmanship
Greg F replied to Schmoopy's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
Hello Jason, youve got some great answers above! One thing i find very helpful with my own learning how to tell the difference is to to read as many posts here as I can. Especially when there is a sword that raises debate or indepth discussion. Im not a big fan of computers but I feel NMB is so rewarding and enjoyable for me especially as my love for Nihonto grows. All the best. Greg -
First Time Buyer - Help With Sword Please
Greg F replied to saskcoin's topic in Military Swords of Japan
Hello and congrats on the sword. I think its an ok price. If you put more/ better pics up you will get more answers and somebody may tell you if its worth getting polished(profesionaly) or not. Its very important to learn how to care for it properly and study about Nihonto as much as you can if you dont already.btw I think its a rule here to leave your name at the bottom of posts. Good luck. Greg -
Hi Robert I agree that all of the obove could be very useful. Would be great to see the composite you come up with. Thanks all. Greg

Nice Tsuba On Ebay From Great Seller
Greg F replied to Mark's topic in Auctions and Online Sales or Sellers
If I wasnt paying off a tsuba already i would be bidding on 1 or 2. Nice. Greg -
Hi Carlos, Not bad for your 1st sword. I think your sword is a wakizashi (short sword) not a katana (long sword) as Ed has said above. Greg
-
Thanks Maurice and Peter thats some great stuff! It would be pretty special seeing a Ryoma Sakamato blade if your in Japan. Im hopefuly going to Japan in the future for my honeymoon and seeing something like that would be the icing on the cake. Cheers. Greg
-
Hi Sal, nice waki! I cant understand why not sold especially with such huge price drops. Best of luck. Greg

Hi Jason. I personally like the look of the fuchi kashira, Interesting design with the two mon. I would like to hear what thats about also. Would be good to see after a polish. Enjoy your new blade. Greg
