  3. I agree, I'll tolerate if the price is cheap and overall condition is good.
  4. 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?
  7. First blade at such quality, you'll gonna love it and enjoy it for a long time!
  8. A beautiful blade indeed, thanks for sharing!
  9. THanks for sharing it with us Guido, great job and beautiful daisho!
  10. 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?
  11. the way it runs into the nakago makes you wonder
  12. 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.
  13. It's stated ubu on the sayagaki
  14. That's a major one for me too, Franco pointed out as well. But polishing could potentially hide a few more flaws.
