Looking for a plain mokko style tsuba for katana size, main point being seppa-dai thickness to be max 2-3mm and weight around 110 -130 grams. Price $300 or less
-
Thanks jimi-san. I'm looking for something similar closer to about 120 grams unfortunately. Jeremy
-
Weight and thickness of seppa-dai please ?
-
Thanks for this. It was a very eye opening read. As someone who's been into his "historical " research and writings , I can now put that behind me !
-
Ok thanks. I'll try to reach out to him.

I don't have the skills to make a paper aeroplane let alone a tsunagi! It's a good idea in theory though

Got in touch with Andrew. He could only advise me to contact Nosyudo in Japan to get the saya made. I'm trying to avoid sending it to Japan because of all the hassles involved at the recipients end . Andrew isn't aware of any other artisans outside of Japan who could this work ? Maybe someone in the USA?
-
I've sent him an email. Thanks

Hello Just a quick question. Can anyone recommend me a source outside Japan I can send my sword to get a saya made? I'm looking at ishime brown colour with basic horn fittings for iaido ? Preferably I want the saya to be made of honoki. Sending to Japan would be my first choice, but we all know the hassles that entails. Thanks in advance Jeremy

Usually for a "user" sword a nioi-deki hamon is preferable, but there are more things to consider other than mere nioideki or niedeki hamon.
-
Did the recipient end up receiving the items eventually?

For some reason I've had this Same problem with new blades like shinsakuto. On older blades I can leave them bone dry without oiling them during hot humid months and not a single rust mark . Types of steel as well as polish can make a difference

Sending swords from Australia
jeremy replied to jeremy's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
That's exactly what I have gone ahead and done. One hard tubing with the bare blade bolted onto a hard wood backing through the mekugi Ana and bubble wrapped, and and the rest of the koshirae and saya in another box. It'll go through Australia post. Fingers crossed it gets to Florida in good shape ! -
Hi guys Just wanted to hear back from Australian sellers here . I'm having a hard time sending a sword to USA from downunder. dhl have already rejected it calling it a "weapon " . Australia POST accepts packages only up to 105cm long (41.3 inches) . The only real option left is UPS . Any advice? I have heard many bad things about UPS, and prefer to avoid them if I can help it . Cheers Jeremy

All good. Found some information on him.

Just scored this sword for iaido. I'm having a hard time finding out anything about this swordsmith online. Any information about him ? Anyone know of this swordsmith ? https://toukenhataya...ord/sword_s2098.html
-
Still for sale !
-
Please check your PM
-
Yes true .
-
I think I agree about the later addition in regards to the amount of patina in the nakago- hi. Also, looks more like modern bohi that one sees on nihonto made for iaido. Ie , to lighten the blade etc...
-
Thanks for your reply . I haven't seen many bohi that end just like that in the habaki moto area, most I've seen on koto blades stop before the habaki or continue on the way through the nakago and this one looks very similar to bohi seen on modern nihonto which is why I was thinking it's a later addition. Jeremy
-
I wanted to see what your opinion on this koto blade bohi is? One later added in our modern times or centuries ago? Is it possible to tell? The reason I ask is because I haven't seen this type of deep and wide bo-bi on a koto blade before ? https://giheiya.com/product/01-2054/
-
Thank you for that information.
-
If I may ask, what is the weight of the bare naked blade ?
-
That's the first thing that stood out to me also, the hamachi looks way too healthy to be a koto blade
