  1. Koshirae for Soshu Sadomune waksahshi!?

    in Tosogu

    Posted

    Gentlemen...boys and girls!?;-)

     

    I bought my first nihonto a couple of days ago!

     

    Now I´m looking forward to studying and collecting more!

     

    I have aspecially been thinking about getting koshirae for this blade!

     

    Bus as I am a newbie-nihonto-student..and my knowledge is slim to none!

    I was wondering what my older more experienced collegues might think!?

     

    Will be much appreciated!

     

    Thank You

     

    Enjoy!

  3. Sword for both Nihonto and Aido!?

    Hi Stefan.

     

    It's not just your choice but your Sensei's one too.

     

    I'm sure he'll not allow you to enter the Dojo with a sharpened blade, not as a beginner.

     

    On due time, he'll tell you the right steps to be taken.

     

    Have fun and be safe. :)

     

    I know!

    I would never do anything disrespectful to my sensei or piers!!

     

    Good heavens! no not as a beginner!

    Until the moment will come....I will use me factorymade-aido sword!

    Remember that buying a nihonto does not mean you can do with the blade whatever you want. It's an art object and an historical artifact. They should be treated with great respect and care. The only historical blade I'd use for training would be a WW2 Gunto.

    I know!

     

    That´s why I study nihonto...in order to know more about them!

    With as much as respect as a true nihonto-student would!

     

    Ok! So you regard gunto as nihonto!?;-)

    Hi Stefan,

     

    Great to hear that you are making a study of Nihonto.

    My plan was this!

     

    To use a Bokuto in my Aikido-training!

    And my olf factory-made Aido-sword for Aido-practise!

     

    But I would like to know, what to look for in a sword in order to

    study both Aido and my sword!

     

    I would NEVER use a sharpend sword in practise!

    Not until I´m master of it!;-)

     

    A bit more credit, guys!

    We swedes are not that stupid...after all we have not had war for over 400 years!;-)

     

     

    I agree with Sergio, use a Bokuto (Wooden sword) for your Budo practice.

     

     

    Most students wreck their first Mogito/Iai-to.

     

    A Bokuto is more forgiving, better a few blisters than lost fingers, or even worse a damaged blade..... :)

     

    Gambatte!!!

    That S.O.B!

    Sorry, for the language!;-)

    Good job, kanetoyo!

    Let´s continue to be observant and make life harder for those (again faul language);-)

     

    Would it be a a utopia where true sword collectors could register and logg on to a

    regulated secure site where we we can sell/buy and exchange products without

    getting disturbed by those (again faul language)

     

    Or I´m I just dreaming!?;-)
