Jean & others. I was asking for a polisher from Europe. Sorry but the blade was inspected by a very competent member from this board. And there is no hagire and no fatal damage. It's a little unfair to judge about the blade only from a photo, not knowing it. Thank you for help

Hi Sebastian I mean bents and that what you see is not hagire It is only on one side.

Mr. Zenon van Damme is offline since years. Last call was 2012 in the internet.

Thierry 06 is available?

Hello, i search for a polisher in europe to avoid any postal, customs and tax difficulties. It must not be a high end polish. The blade is a mighty dotanuki katana from munehiro. It is nice, but it has a big chip and two bents and no saya. I think that this blade will not have any high collecting value, but i love it and would spent money to it to see it shining again in a shira saya. The costs to ship it to Japan with all the customs export and import fees is too much for me for this project. I would be pleased if someone in europe is interested to do this job. Regards Chris

Very very nice sword. Congratulation for buying it.

Chiezo Kataoka in a unknown samurai movie.

Found that in the book museo stibbert firenze. Same motiv but looks very different to the other shonai tsuba before. I must hold a shonai in hands to see what is important. :-)

Thank you for you opinion. I'm here to learn :-) But it looks like similar to this one: http://www.shibuiswords.com/haynesTsu100.html And i ask, because at the other looks the color fresh painted.

Marius did you think it is an origin shonai tsuba or something else. The parts on the tsuba looks paint. I ask because the seller had a good reputation and say it is an shonai tsuba from Edo period.

I saw this tsuba on ebay, Question ist this a real shoani tsuba or a new one? The color looks like painted on the moon and some other parts.

A fantastic piece! Very very interesting. Reminds me on other thing...

I saw many of this easy build kai gunto. All prices around $500. The shape of the sword looks terrible for me. Navy and Airforce have two ashi on the saya. This is not a naval ashi.

Grev is T204 available?

Tsuba is part of a deadly weapon not part of a toy? A Tsuba made out of jade is like glass. If it gehts hit it broke in thousend pieces? You or another could get hurt. For me it make no sense.

It's not my taste. A Jade Tsuba make no sense. Looks like "kitsch"

I would you pay 120 Euro for this. It looks very nice for me.

I would like to see some Tsuba with Oni motiv nothing more. A friend told me that there are a lot of Oni Tsuba out there but the only ones that i know are in museum around the world. So i think that they are rare in private hands. I'm right?

My ask was to see some from the members here Ford. Maybe i hasn't find the right words to say what my intention was. I will take your advise and look for the online museum. But if members on this board have some i would be happy to see some of them. Regards

For sure Ford but i wonder why so less Tsuba with that motiv is in hands of private collectors. Maybe the most collect iron sukashi tsuba? Or I'm wrong?

Very nice Thierry! I hope to see more (These are older ones you know, but the only one with a oni that i have)

Dear Gentleman Is it possible to take a look (picture) on tsuba with a oni theme? I know many pictures from museum tsuba with oni on it mostley kinko but i didn't see some from private collections. Thank you for your time Regards

This guy is only 380 km from my home. I would be happy to know him.

Ray thats a beautifull piece! It looks like it comes directly out of the Ohmura Study website.
