  1. Hello folks for a fellow collector looking for suitable tsuka ito for thread wrap Whale wskers are also very welcome it would be grateful if someone here could help me and tell me where I can buy something like this! Thank#s in advance!
  2. Nicholas It's an honor Nicholas, thank's a lot! Its always difficult,to judge a blade on pictures for me.rather than seeing the blade in person.. But I know that where you live there are plenty of highly qualified swords experts, far superior to my modest knowledge, who would surely be happy to help you.... good luck!!!!!
  3. one more thing RAWA I've been working with Yasukuni shrine swords for over 35 years and was very fortunate to learn a great deal from the honorable Mr Han Bing siong, who possessed great experience I was always very grateful to him, and still remeber him with gratitude and respect!!! this ialso applies to my friendly contact with Kotani Yasunori san who was a a very polite, wonderful person and a great artist
  4. finally a real advive for you RAWA before you start collecting Japanese swords,I recommend buying books and reading them Then you'll know, that there are no dai saku swords by yasuhiro that were made at the Yasukuni jinja I don't want say anything moreabout that, as I've explained! Good Luck!
  5. Rawa As I already wrote, or asked what is wromg with you? I would like to ask you with all due couresty not to bother me any further! I make my own decisions about who I advic on questions and I won't let you know, force me to do so. That's the golden rule of politeness
  6. boy I hate this yes that's true "RAWA "but that doesn't make me your advisor without asking first, try showind some respekt and couresty
  7. Rawa how is the weather like in Poland?
  8. Rawa I'm very sure that I'm unable to help you, sorry
  9. have you tried asking here, Rawa or is no one listening to you here anymore ?????
  10. Rawa what is wrong with you? please let me know how I can help you, if you'r open to help
  11. Rawa you'r too smart for me ashes on my head
  12. thank you lonely panet, I#ll give it a try
  13. Rawa Over the years, I've deveoped a more informed reaction to these swords, that is based more on facts, than on speculation
  14. what does this mean pappered blade? For me ,sorry it has a slightly derogatory connotation??? and in my opinion, that would be derogatory toward this sword.
  15. thank you Nicholas for me the term pappered blade has a strange aftertaste, which flows smewhatunfortuantely into this formulation?
  16. these yasukuni swords had such a high presige, that the Japanese Emperor was didvinely endowed with them!
  17. Please note that we the Gajin , were the first to have access to the Japanese sword and especially to the Japanese culture to this extent after WWII yasukuni shrine swords were a high quality product, (very expnsive) manufactered under strictspecifications and under the supervision of a appropriate experts in the spirit of the Japanese national pride of this time, in the spirit of Bushido.
  18. Rawa please keep in mind, that all swordsmith who were allowed to sign the" Yasu" were subjected to a rigorous selection process and had undergone serval years of training! To write about from a "pappered blade"(whatever this is?) made by a third rate Yasukuni smith is in my opinion inapprorriate, sorry!
  19. I would always buy a product from Aoi Art again and will probably do so again in the future. Have a nice weekend everyone!!!!
  20. I'd like to avoid making a generell assessment here. I haven't seen or heard of a Yasukunishrine sword in this type 3 mount yet. (after over 35 years of collecting) But that doesn't mean everything! a few in Kai Gunto over the years However, I've occasionally purchased from Aoi Art over the past few years and have been sttisfied with both, the service and the product.
  21. Hello folks does anyone know what's going on with Doug Austin?? serval email's I sent to him, has returned as undeliverable??? Thank you!
