  1. Grey - It takes a lot to own up to ones mistakes, especially on a board like this. I have a ton of respect for you by sharing this story in helping others not make the same mistake. Best Wishes Dave
  2. Forgive the newbie question here . . . but if you try and send this to shinsa and it fails because of the mei, you can take off the mei and it will get papered then? Or can a sword get papered with Gimei? Best Wishes
  3. This sorta pisses me off that some people want to use this resource in that way. Who ever you are, learn some chill dude! ( I have other words I want to use here but I will behave). . . . .
  4. Good Thread! I am right there with you guys and a beginner as well. I think we are lucky to take up the study now because of all the information that is available to us through books, shows, and internet. Not to long ago this info was scarce to come by! Best Wishes
  5. Tom - Yes. If you can provide me a link or more info on the details for this show, I would gladly attend. Do they have a date or time yet? Thanks for the heads up!!! Best wishes
  6. Tom - Which show in Tulsa? I would enjoy one there as it is very close to me. Peter - Yes, hands on experience from people that can share your knowledge would be a great experience. Maybe we should try and get a few of us together. I would welcome that. I also have 2 blades I could bring for discussion. One has turned out very interesting as I purchased it from an estate sale and after having it for almost a year, it is beginning to show its "personality" so to speak. And I believe it to be a traditional made sword now. Although, my knowledge is quite limited. Just going off the properties of the blade after traditionally cleaning it for months now. (it had not been cleaned for years before I got it). The other is a wakizashi that has turned out to be a great study sword for me. Anyways, weekends for me are the only time I would be able to meet up. My work is very greedy. Ha. Best Wishes
  7. Jay - Magenta (Akamurasaki) All the way! Goto Fittings!!! Any chance you can post a pic of them? Sincerely,
  8. Tom, Nice to meet you. I believe we are the only 2 people on the board from Oklahoma. Very cool. There is talk about a sword show in Texas for the future. Check out the sword show section of the board. Best Wishes
  9. Geraint - I appreciate your information very much! Thank you. Brian - That is exactly what I did. Took the pic, then put them to my pc, then posted them. There is no rotation before I posted to the board. My other posts of pictures do not have this problem either. Best Wishes
  10. Thank you Mark for your reply. No school then, I am assuming? Steven - There was nothing to rotate. It was not taken at 90 degrees.
  11. Hello Tom, I live in North Oklahoma! Where do you live in Oklahoma, Tom?
  12. I have no clue why the pics are set up sideways here when I took the pic upright? Odd.
  13. Hello all, I am currently building up my reference material on tsuba, so I do not have any books that show examples of this type of design. The closest thing I am finding online for a school is Mino, maybe? I am curious what your thoughts are on this and what the period might be too. Any help will be greatly appreciated. The Size: 7.0 x 6.3, Thickness is 0.4cm, 108g. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
  14. Stephen, I hope so too. It would be a great experience to meet you and other members in person. Not to mention, seeing some great collections up close. I will bring a napkin for my drool! . LOL
  15. Hello Stephen, Hope you are well man. I am in Oklahoma. We have a ton of Gun Shows here but nothing to do with any Japanese Arts.
