    I agree, I'll tolerate if the price is cheap and overall condition is good.

    I see.

    What do you think of these kizus? Would you buy a blade with such kizus?

    Some like ara nie, some like ko nie. What do you like? What are some examples of uncontrolled ara nie?

    You are quite right Ken, I've rotated the photo. And now the sugata tells the truth, isn't it? Can't trust what was written on the sayagaki Mason, how about posting shots of the sugata, with a completely-bare blade?

    the way it runs into the nakago makes you wonder

    When it comes to Koto blade, I guess the acceptable standards include more or less some forms of minor flaws in the not-too-pricey category.
  18. djcollection
    Indeed

    It's stated ubu on the sayagaki

    That's a major one for me too, Franco pointed out as well. But polishing could potentially hide a few more flaws.

    Here you go Ken, I came across it on ebay when I was doing research on Mihara group from Muromachi period. You can check out other photos here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/SAYAGAKI-Attested-Japanese-Antique-Wakizashi-Sword-Samurai-Katana-Nihonto/254558920128?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144 It was sold just a few days ago for $890.

    Are these acceptable flaws on a wakizashi from Muromachi period (Mumei)? What do you think? I think Michael from the other post mentioned about the flaws from Muromachi deduct its value accordingly.

    Han-tanren-to?

    Hi Dave, the pic shows the blade with basic forging and folding (simple surfase lines) compared to more refined process of folding done in the traditional way. And by definition sunobe blade was only drawn and hammered without being folded, so we won't see the surface features. I think I've seen somewhere the quality of showato is ranked according to the forging effort went into it.

    Hi Bruce, I think you've shown a good example of sunobe blade compared to the other photos- without forging and folding which are necesseary steps involved in making a han tanrento.
