Welcome Adal

Additional close ups of the fittings would be nice as well.
-
I enjoy forged in fire for what it is. Some very talented folks there making some impressive pieces in just a few hours/days.

Good deal? Koto Wakizashi for 799$
Oshy replied to Blazeaglory's topic in Auctions and Online Sales or Sellers
For the price it looks to be a decent starter blade to study and pass on for little to no loss. Could do worse -
Looks to have some age purely based on nakago, Edo maybe?
-
Welcome! A newbie here as well, I would recommend your first investment be in some reference and study materials.

Im thinking this wak wont last long at this price
-
Great information, thanks everyone!
-
Thanks Mark, hopefully next year.

Is shinsa typically available at the Chicago show?
-
These are beautiful!
-
Anyone have early nambantestu blades(or nambantestu/tamahagane mixture) from late muromachi - early edo to show and tell? How reliant was it that the nakago would be inscribed "motte naman tetsu"? Im sure it probably varies from where the material was being imported from, but are there obvious characteristics that would give it away such as a darker tone and less pronounced hada?
-
Technically 30-60cm is wakizashi so your just in there at 57.4cm.
-
Very creative, thanks for sharing! Looking for something a bit more premade thought
-
Looking for a quality 6 tier wall mount display, all I can find is cheap garbage. Any recommendations?
-
Pictures can definitely play tricks and portray a material in a lighter tone than it actually is but as Mark points out the original nakago seems to have been lost completely only leaving what used to be polished blade.

Is Covid 19 going to kill the NMB?
Oshy replied to Peter Bleed's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
Yes, please have patience with us noobs and our elementary questions, comments and incorrect terminology. Cultivating the youth is vital to keeping the tradition, enthusiasm and blades alive long after the current experts pass on. -
Unfortunately not really what my available funds are allocated for but it is tempting for the price ????
-
Agreed, this is a great price, people probably gun shy to deal with customs right now.

WW2 Japanese NCO SWORD BEAUTY WOOD HANDLE & TASSEL
Oshy replied to baldi1942's topic in Sold Archive
Is that grease the blade is covered in? Edit: never mind, missed that part of your description -
Width at the Hamachi and Kissaki?
-
Surprised this hasn't gone yet! Are dimensions still in the works?
-
I believe soft antler is the only method to help remove active nakago rust.

Rare tanto published in 1935 was discovered in my collection
Oshy replied to Christian Chaffee's topic in Nihonto
I hope his collection went to well informed family or friends. Too bad it probably won't stay within the NMB community.
