    Is shinsa typically available at the Chicago show?

    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.

    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 ????
  13. Oshy
    Agreed, this is a great price, people probably gun shy to deal with customs right now.

    Is that grease the blade is covered in? Edit: never mind, missed that part of your description

    Width at the Hamachi and Kissaki?
  16. Oshy
    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.

    Classy fittings

    I hope his collection went to well informed family or friends. Too bad it probably won't stay within the NMB community.

    Oh my, I've got some reading to catch up on!

    Indeed a bargain, someone will be very happy to give this a new home. I love seeing pieces trade hands and be appreciated by many vs sitting in one closet for decades
  22. Oshy
    Love that hamon!
  23. Oshy
    Bug bummer indeed but we saw it coming
  24. Oshy
    Lovely piece here, went fast!
