  1. My shinsakuto has a similar "bend " after a decade of use. No problem with it cutting and sheathing.
  2. I'm going to Philippines in Oct. I will go and check this place out
  3. Aoi art appraisal
  4. I have a shinshinto with 2 mekugi ana . Mumei ubu attributed to chikuzen munetsugu.
  5. Holy damn! I had so many online conversations with the man since 2003. He took so much time out to reply to my sword related queries as best he could. Smart man . With a beautiful family. Im sorry Ted, and my heart goes out to his wife and daughter
  6. You should look into the process of exporting the sword out. It's not easy that's for sure. I think aoi art is located somewhere near Tokyo
  7. Email me at jezah81@gmail for more info and pics. I also have the aoi art appraisal. Will take a pic of it soon
  8. Hey Brandon, i don't know your level of training , however at those lengths you should bare in mind the weight of the sword if you will use it for iai. I learnt the hard way training with a 1400 grams sword for 9 years , gave me all sorts of issues with tendonitis etc...my current sword weighs 1200 grams. Its a good weight for iaido and tameshigiri. Just my few thoughts Jeremy
  9. I have a shinsakuto i train with. Would the oil have an effect on the structural integrity of the tsuka over time?
  10. Selling this Muromachi tanto from aoi art. Selling for what i paid for it. Size is 21.3cm. Mumei with koshirae. More pics to come when i get home in the next few days. Cheers Jeremy
  11. I totally agree here. Coming from a fellow toyama ryu and Nakamura ryu guy, not much battodo i can see there either. It does take skill to do what shes doing though.Jeremy
  12. I tried asking to send my sword to Japan via usagiya sword shop but they're too busy to take on my project. Plus the hassles of sending a sword into Japan
  13. I'd be interested to know as well. I want to get a bo hi cut in my shinsakuto. I've emailed a few people but no one has ever gotten back to me. Jeremy

    Gendai tsuba

    Hi Ed, I would prefer mokko style , about 4mm thick at the seppa dai. No more than about 120 grams in weight, less the better. Cheers Jeremy

    Gendai tsuba

    Thanks Ford . I should've been a bit more clear in my post . I'm actually looking for something to mount a shinsakuto I have at the moment. So maybe something in the ¥30-40000 ballpark

  20. Thanks for all the ideas fellas. What do you guys make of the links I provided? Stay away, fake or what?
  21. Thanks for the tip. I got my eye one these ones. Do they seem like the real deal ? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F153739514373 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F233417469031
  22. I've just started becoming interested in samurai jingasa hats. What is the most important thing to look out for to ensure the genuine age of the hat and overall quality?
