Interesting to say the least but I think the 'missing' hamon plus this detail has made the price what it is.

anyone else? One question got the kindergarten up early

I am pretty quiet and I have learned a lot from what they said so far (a lot! Lol). I am glad you are here to support that also.

*skip*

My turn, I am Yulian. I have way too many swords that I am rushing to filter through and decide which ones are to stay with me and which ones are to find their righteous owner. I wish myself long term friendships with folks from the forum and I wish the rest patience while dealing with me and my dedication to learn Cheers

Thank you very much. I have one and that is the reason I ask. If I don't hear from you, the ones with more experience, I wouldn't know am I doing the right thing by sending it for Juyo. But that for whatever reason pisses off some folks around here - you go figure. It's not like there's an appraisal book online where I can simply flick a page and find the answer.. and what is so wrong about asking for a valuation?

Hah.. who's the sensitive now? Lol And where did I fail to address accurately the proposition you made? Or you just pick and choose which part of the question I asked to be selected as most convenient one and a foundation for your rude approach?? While on Wikipedia try searching for manners, that, in my opinion is a good start

Hi buddy, I am glad you are having a great day, me too, thanks for asking. The Juyo is what I wanted to inquire about plus this is in general discussion, I don't see how's that against any rules! And to address about me being easily offended - I am not except when frogs have crappy attitude against me without a reason. If you don't like what I am asking - skip it. None of my questions REQUIRE answers. Thanks for the message anyway. Hope you have a better one!

Hello, They are my most favorite place to go look around and I bumped onto this.. How realistic is that figure? Does that mean that work from Sadakuni with same sugata able to be awarded Juyo? Thank you in advance for any thoughts https://www.aoijapan.net/katana-tajima-kami-hojoji-tachibana-sadakuni-2/

This topic could be locked also. Thanks

Thanks buddy. There's anotyer mysterious factor that doesn't sell even great blades for great prices. I will find out sooner or later. This one is gone, maybe another big mistake.. no regerts lol

Thanks.

I have been using them but I noticed slight scratching that is the reason to ask (unless they have been picking up stuff along the way).. so I followed the aoi advice and use what they have suggested. Not the wd stuff lol

Thanks. I thought those microfiber cloths scratch the surface, no?

I am now changing it back to choji oil..I don't see anything negative to be honest..

Lol. Thanks

I did and I can say I see nothing but a great result. Not to mention that once I wipe it down (which is much easier than cleaning choji oil) I can see much more 'clean' steel. Of course I don't insist you put it on your blades, that is my experience and what I saw as an improvement on a pretty old shikakke 30" blade is what led me to believe this may be useful long term, project or not.

Don't stay in the shade my friend and thank you for writing. No, I have not become a member of the sword community locally yet but I think this is a great idea. Based on the few replies I sold the nagamaki naoshi as per some members' impression it was not nanbokucho blade and I want to own old blades only. I am puzzled when it comes to their market value more than anything as I happen to have quite a few sue koto and Shinto blades that I don't want to keep but I can't simply give away and I am definitely having a hard time finding accurate range for prices after searching the web day and night... thank you again

I have been struggling with the photo part, hopefully you succeed. I'll show mine here just as comparison:)

I like it, nothing but a great piece there man. I like the Mihara school myself very much personally. I have a koshu tokubetso kicho katana that I cherish dearly! .. I guess I am partial to 'star like' jigane and suguha..

Hello, This has had great result on my 'projects' so far. Zero complaints https://www.wd40specialist.com/products/corrosion-inhibitor/

I know, sorry, this was the only way to show the 'star like' reflection of the jigane. I guess so far I don't see one valuable 'thing' in what I got so might as well sell it all and buy a 'dynamite' katana..

Thank you very much!

Thank you. I thought this is earlier one (14th century) and I thought it is Soshu den (I have not been able to find a lot of information on these online) But you are definitely right about one part - the star like quality. I have shitahara yasushige katana and it is very very different than this one But I am thankful that you took the time to reply!
