  1. Nothing else but stupidity! Personally I don't even like the blade, Once again too much money on militaria these days.
  2. Sad, sad news! My heart is with everyone in Japan,
  3. Merry X-mas to you all! Especially to Brian, Jean, and John for all your effort! Jean! I know you down there has snow but up here we have to use a helicopter to take us to work, that's big amount's of snow... :D Kind regards,
  4. I just love how they hold the blade with bare hands when pulling the tsuka off
  5. Thank you so much Ford for sharing this! One word, Amazing Kind regards,

    Hi! After being one of thoose who bought all swords I could get I changed my way of collecting after seeing this picture (among other things). I think it was Ted Tenold or Keith Lahrman who brought this picture (attached below) up on another forum asking us what we saw... I remember seeing this beautiful blade but couldn't tell much about the details etc. After this "lecture" I sold almost all my blades except one, bought and still buying plenty of books. This day I own two blades which are in full polish and gives me lots to study. I really enjoy these two blades which I never did with all blades I had before cause they were out of polish, had rough hada, faint hamon etc. Sure a person could find a diamond in the rough but then you have to know what you looking for. Kind regards,
  7. Hi Jason! I agree totally with Chris and Erich! I find it very hard to belive that this blade will survive a new polish, to me it looks like a non survivor. And the shirasaya looks like a nightmare. Maybe you just should put it to sleep and just leave it there Kind regards
  8. Happy birthday from Sweden Brian! Wish you all the best and thanks for everything! Kind regards,
  9. Congratulations all for a beautiful and splendid craftmanship! Kind regards,
  10. Perhaps I'm out and riding a bicycle but I find it very hard to see any kind of muji hada on a blade that is out of polish, pictures or not. If it is somehow difficult to spot on a polished blade how would it be on blade out of polish? Kind regards,
  11. Well, It seems that I have to go rob a bank cause that's one heck of a treasure
  12. Jean, a couple weeks ago I saw a nakago with eight bullet holes There were almost more air in that nakago than steel Kind regards,
  13. Doesn't look like a hagire, more like a deep scratch or something
  14. Congrats Niclas for your sword passed through the ugly Swedish post office....
  15. I once owned a YoshiHaru with the W stamp. Kind regards,
