O-Midare

After reading auctions write up I'm convinced that this was made by Gō Yoshihiro, wow what a stunning beauty.

Couple of rotted wood Tsuba I have.

A tanto I have in itosuguha, also have a katana in itosuguha.

NoriMitsu

Here is a Kozuka I have that seems to fit the theme of your Saya ornament.

Chinese copy.

If you use a VPN, like Nord VPN then just select the UK server and you will be able to watch the video.

Thanks for the correction on Nori Steve.

Possibly Bishu Osafune NoriMitsu. (Nori?) Looks Muramachi.

Chris, your second photo appears as if they are floating above the blade, simply amazing. Like meteors.

I have one of these, they are sharp. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/1-5-Sori-Shinogi-Zukuri-Nami-Koshirae-Hishi-Gami-Copper-Habaki-Japanese-Sword/282659837178?hash=item41cfd6d4fa:g:9iIAAOSwW9dZwJil&redirect=mobile

My bookshelf.

I wonder if this is another account used by our good friend the samuraimonkey, he is in Texas if I am correct.

With this blade I'm afraid all they are selling is a story.

Wasn't Japan closed off to the west except a few ships allowed for trade in just one port 250 years ago, highly unlikely it would find its way to Texas in the 1770's

Merry Christmas.

Is this Horimono done in negative? Not liking it.

Looks like some activity in the close up. Maybe water quenched.

Is this oil quenched?, activity: nie?

Thanks for the info.

Looks like it could be Sue-Bizen. Closer to 450.

Here's a blade of some sort he has for a cool million. https://www.ebay.com/itm/WWII-Japanese-sword-ULTRA-RARE-Sakabat-reverse-edge-blade-MUSEUM-PIECE/113828029442?hash=item1a80ade402:g:nSgAAOSw0qFdNldw And another I'm not sure what happened here. But it claims an amazing Horimono, for $ 2799.99 https://www.ebay.com/itm/WW2-Japanese-ARMY-OFFICERS-KNIFE-SWORD-WITH-AMAZING-HORIMONO-SAMURAI-VINTAGE/113848845701?_trkparms=aid=555018&algo=PL.SIM&ao=1&asc=40719&meid=a750d2c4320c445a93f04df53dd79808&pid=100012&rk=4&rkt=6&sd=113886346793&itm=113848845701&pmt=1&noa=0&pg=2047675&_trksid=p2047675.c100012.m1985&redirect=mobile

The wrap on tsuka is wrong. It doesn't alternate.
