  1. Yes, sorry for being lazy with the correct terminology.
  2. no no im not a togi, but iv had some experience's with getting opinions from respected togi on swords with far less damage then the above item. you dont see the lack of pitting because RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE the Ha has almost completey vanished from aggressive state of corrosion. so the shape may be lost in the hunt for stable metal. not be negative
  3. here comes the island title again. its just plain modern junk
  4. Im not a togi, but i would confidently say its beyond help
  5. Hi David, Could you inform the masses of the dollar amount to achieve a shinsa. So peaple can understand how big a task it is

  7. Carried yes, and used yes. the type 19 kyu dress swords continued to see day carry as a lighter alternative. but i dont know but would surely think sales would have finalised at the time of change or being very limited, but only guessing
  8. bell cricket and a curled fern shoot??
