    it will most likely be licance issues, i had a wakizashi once take 6 months. they might send it back to the dealer and ask him to start the process over again or have the swords re-licanced. or your countries postal service might not accept edged weapons via air mail etc

    ask Grey Doffin.

    thats a insane price, i could buy this in AUD and still make money
  5. lonely panet

    you will have to go STRAIGHT to a togishi for that, paid a huge amount and wait a long time. that i would say if your lucky, it takes a very very very long time to make

    well i have not seen sooooo much kanji in so smaller nakago. cutting test i assume. sadly the kissaki has pitting so with the most humble of asking, please translate this utter trap of words for me

    I wouldn't touch it. 3 points i dont like. I'm calling it a good fake

    these CUT OUTS are in fact areas of the tsuba that have been punched in to fit the blade. over repeated mountings occuring the more the depressions grow might be called tagane in akasaka tsuba maybe. if there was a soft metal insert they would be called sekigane and they would be modified to fit the blade rather then the body of the tsuba
