New impressive website by Dmitry Pechalov
Yuradneprov replied to Brian's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
Yes the book is amazing really well made and top quality I would say. Well worth the money and a must have for any nihonto enthusiasts. -
I wonder how many of the koto swords if not most have a gruesome past glued to them. All the stories you read about these wonderous old blades that are super sharp and have magical powers, i believe not all are made up. They have had to come from someone who experienced or seen something. They say bigfoot is a myth yet I beg to differ.. Interesting page with myths or not myths.. https://japaneseswordlegends.wordpress.com

Mei or Gimei - Minatagawa Blade Help!
Yuradneprov replied to Bruce Pennington's topic in Translation Assistance
The comparison between shoshin and gimei shows that this is a gimei piece. From what I can see the minotagawa mon is extremely sloppy. The stokes are different -
My intent wasnt to upset or put you down jp. It's a beautiful sword and if you like it that is all that matters. As far as what I stated is my personal opinion and what I've heard from several people. Not that big a deal. Shouldn't have said anything

Your absolutely right use. Thank you for elaborating. Kotetsu is a very very big name and unfortunately many forgeries were made. That's part of dealing with nihonto so it is what it is. I suggest before buying a piece you do you due diligence and research as many authentic signed pieces and do your best to compare the mei. Still tricky but should be done

Most definitely gimei. Peace

I agree with a couple folks on this thread, you should send it to the NBTHK. A lot of complaints the the nthk not trustworthy. Just saying.

If you live in New York can you purchase katanas from buyer? For some reason it says prohibited
