    Thanks for your reply. It does answer my question actually. By shinae, I'm assuming you meant shiai/ duel type matches ?

    Im trying to figure out how popular 1cm or less sori swords were back in the day by the bushi? Were they more symbolic like the fukkoto type swords or did some bushi actually prefer using swords with shallow sori? Tried googling this with not much information found . Thanks! Jeremy

    Hi Dave From memory they don't use PayPal which is something to think about. Unless they have changed that. But I used my credit card to purchase from them

    I second namikawa Heibei. Bought a few things from them in the past, and they're very responsive and great to deal with.

    Thanks for all that information. I hope its smooth sailing for me when it comes time to ship.

    Thats good to know. Where were they shipped from and what description did they have on the customs sheet?

    Last I heard they don't accept swords. Unless there is a way around it? Have you shipped a sword with dhl?

    Hi guys I have finally found someone who will send my blade to Japan to get a bohi carved. What I wanted to know is what is the best way to send a sword to the usa from Australia? I've read many carriers don't accept swords, and the package may be too long to be sent through Australia post. ( over 105cm) Anyone with experience sending swords from Australia please let me know your experience Jeremy

    I've been looking around , but hard to find a blade that meets all my requirements for training at 2-6-5 length sword .

    The plan was to go to Japan this year in October for the annual taikai, and planned to take my sword to him, but with covid it seems that won't be happening this year. If I cant find anyone before then I guess it'll have to wait until my next trip to Japan

    Just as a FYI, this sword is a batto blade i purchased directly from the swordsmith in Japan in 2009. Its made by Okamoto Kazumune , made to use for batto and tameshigiri and is in a rough tameshigiri polish . Nagasa is 80cm, it has become way too heavy for me now in my middle age hence wanting the bohi. Thanks for your help guys Jeremy

    I dont mind sending it to Japan, but with hassles of getting swords into Japan I thought maybe us or Europe. But if someone can help me get my sword into Japan it's definite an option

    Hi thanks for the recommendation but Andrew doesn't carve bohi and he couldn't recommend anyone to do the work for me. Are there any other suggestions?

    Hello I am wanting to get a bohi carved into my shinsakuto , and sending swords to Japan is a pain and most of you know. I found this guy https://www.japanesesword.es/ Is he legitimate? I don't want to send my sword to someone who will ruin it . Thanks Jeremy

    I second Namikawa Heibei. They should ship to Europe.

    stock cardboard like that of a notebook works just as well if not better than leather if you can't get a hold of metal seppa. Jeremy

    My tanto is shipping via seamail tomorrow from usagiya in Japan to me in Australia. It comes with a tracking number. Fingers crossed here
  24. jeremy
    For what its worth i received my tanto from Japan via sea mail and it took 2 months to reach me in Australia. I am waiting for another one from Usagiya which will be coming by sea mail. If all else fails maybe ask aoi to send by sea mail.

    Not sure if I can see any shintetsu to say its been over polished . But the nioiguchi doesn't seem bright, maybe that's just the pics, I can't say for sure . Its seen better days for sure.
