I have seen blades polished by mr hoffine that have gone juyo!! ys

I have sold sword to quite a few members and have never had any problems, you guys can say Hi if you feel like it... Lets speak the truth here .. Mark contacted me about a sword that was purchased by me on ebay ......He really wanted sword. After a little while I agreed to sell him sword to buy another one, after I had studied it......Anyways I shiped him sword ,I never seen a hagire or any problems to be quite honest.. After mark received sword he emailed me saying what a wonderful sword he was so happy blah blah..... Now heres where it gets interesting a year after sword has been sold to him he emails me saying there is a hagirea....... Well I never seen one, hes never seen one and now a year later he is upset?. I am sorry but you dont buy a sword and inspect it say your happy with it and a year later threaten people......... I made no claims or garentess about sword...Do not slander my name for some bull...... And dont threaten me ..... Respectfully Yitzy

Thank you koichi san ys :D

Hi any help would be appreaciated in translating the mei on this blade. thanks in advance yitzy

Thanks guys...I dont collect nco swords and bought it on a whim at the local auction house....It was a lot with koto mino sword.... yitzy

Hi I have a nco sword I reently picked up there are some flags on habaki that I have never seen on other nco swords...... Is anyone familar with these marks? Thanks in advance Yitzy

Here is an excellent video on the art of sword making.. There are six parts to the entire film. I highly reccomend watching it. Best Yitzy

I cant say when it was done.....blade is healthy so can kanji be as healthy as an old koto sword? Its poss it was added later look at some horimono on swords some added now and some orign to sword Yitzy

interesting I wonder why this smith signed this way i have seen a few blades like this before but judging from the nakago this looks\to be shinto koto period. The blade has been forged well Yitzy

Hi All yes I was referring to a nata I have heard both opinions that they are gardening tools and beheading tools. I guess any sword can be used for beheading.. I have seen the clip on you tube of the poor daniel pearl whom was beheaded by sword so I guess my question was answered, no specific Japanese sword made for beheading ? I have heard of other swords from other parts of the world made Specifically for beheading.... I think I am going to put this for a polish the weight of this blade is incredible heavy cheers Yitzy

Thank you chris was that the smiths name and is that a school? Yitzy

Hi if anyone can help me with this transalation id appreaciate that would be interesting to know what it means thanks in advance Yitzy

Hi Chris I will add pix of nakago I am talking about larger sword I know some of the reverse blades were for beheading but didnt know if they made other ones for the specific purpose Yitzy

Hello ALL I just picked up this sword, Story is that this sword was used during ww2 to cut the heads off of the gi s The man whom owned sword said he saw the Japanese cut off several heads with it before it was taken.... I have seen alot of swords but this sword is super thick and I was wondering if any one had seen a sword this thick and if it looks like this sword was made for beheading? Here are some pictures of sword..... nakago looks old maybe koto cut down Thanks in advance Yitzy

Ohh, this blade has been on Ebay forever !! I believe the a expensive blade that this are VERY hard to sell on an online auction. I wouldnt buy a blade that expensive without seen it LIVE. _________________ //Niclas Gudmundsson My friend thats why there is an inspection period on blades.........And the blade on ebay is an exceptional piece.
