    I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am for your help. Sincerely. Thank you.

    All he really told me was it seemed to be good quality and he thought it was older than shinto. I don't know if he has any qualifications, I'd just seen examples of his work and read good reviews about him.

    I had Mr. Boomershine make a new shirasaya for the blade as well as doing the polish.

    It has been a year or two since I bought the sword and reached out, I may be remembering wrong. I bought a few wakizashi at the time so I may be mixing up the response I got with another. To your other point, I can upload better pictures of the Hamachi if that would help. Thanks!

    Thanks for the response! I will remember to orient the sword properly next time. I am quite novice when it comes to nihonto, but I wish to learn as much as I can. I don't know if the nakago was cleaned, but I know I didn't clean it. As far as the polish, I don't know what way Mr. Boomershine executed it. I reached out to a few different togiri (?) And none of them would take on the project due to a lack of signature on the nakago.

    I purchased this while it was in quite bad shape and had it restored by Josiah Boomershine. What can you tell me about it? Thanks! Help me identify this wakizashi? https://imgur.com/gallery/AOM4GMl

    I see... That will help! Thank you Steve!

    Thank you so much steve!! I am honored to receive feedback from all of you, it is very deeply appreciated! I found this, does that look helpful?
  9. Misterbovigoren
    Thank you for the information!! I know to keep the blade lightly oiled and do change the oil monthly, I will read the link you sent me for further knowledge. Thanks again!

    Disclaimer, I was given the name "Sadahisa Saku" and found him listed as 1467-1489 for active years, but just wanted to check here to verify. Thanks again.
  11. Misterbovigoren
    Hopefully these help with identification.

    Oops, I apologize, it was Chris Lohman who vouched for them, not Fred.

    Hello, I purchased this wakizashi blade on ebay and am wondering if anyone can help me with info on it: the maker, any info on him, age, where I should have it polished etc. I wish to have it restored if possible, and saw a restoration service in Portland Oregon called "Japenese Sword Restoration" with a recommendation from Fred Lohman, is this place legit? Thanks! https://www.instagram.com/p/CGxztZzJpKK/?igshid=1f5iy7ye23h1g

    Thank you Bazza!! I cannot thank everyone enough for everything, you have all made a world of difference to me, and it is much appreciated!
  15. Misterbovigoren
    I was just curious, I have other swords in mind, but none that would merit that kind of price tag. Not yet anyway ????
  16. Misterbovigoren
    Thank you Bruce! Your sword turned out gorgeous.
  17. Misterbovigoren
    I see. Where did you have yours polished, if I may ask?? Thank you again to all who have offered me insight. I cannot tell you enough how much it means to me!!
  18. Misterbovigoren
    Thank you for your advice!!
  19. Misterbovigoren
    Perhaps I am doing something wrong, when I search "polish" in the articles section, nothing appears?
  20. Misterbovigoren
    Bruce, thank you so much for taking time to give me advice! I will speak to the original owner to see if he wishes to have it professionally wrapped.
  21. Misterbovigoren
    Thank you again Stephen! And don't worry, I have no intention of trying to sharpen the blade. I would never do such a thing, I dont even try to sharpen my own modern made katanas!!
  22. Misterbovigoren
    Thank you Stephen, is there a way to move this discussion there or should I copy and paste?
  23. Misterbovigoren
    Thank you Stephen. Is there a way to move this duscussion there or should I copy and paste?
  24. Misterbovigoren
    Thank you both so very much, I will do nothing else to the blade, and i will follow your instructions very carefully. I appreciate all the feedback!!! I am still curious if anyone else has or has seen one with a wood scabbard?
  25. Misterbovigoren
    That makes sense. When I removed the bottom fitting on the scabbard all I could see was wood, and on the inside of the scabbard all I can see is wood, is that typical?
