  1. Online auction, listing description: 12-piece lot (6 pair) of antique Japanese sword Menuki. Includes gilded dragons, shrimp, and other Japanese iconography. Most are bronze.
  2. thanks Bruce! ill live with it! Its not bad.
  3. Oiled this guy yesterday, man. Feels introspective touching the blade of something so old and historic. Used a microfiber cloth and mineral oil (seems that choji oil is just mineral oil plus clove oil) Not sure how to polish out slight blackening - rice paper?
  4. Roger that Bruce, thanks! Saw a sarute on eBay for $70 - ouch!
  5. Thanks Dan! Super excited about it. Trying to determine if I should work to restore it or not..dont want to decrease value. Needs a Sarute at the least
  6. I missed this one on an auction today. Maybe ill get lucky and the winner will back out. Any thoughts on these signatures?
  7. Thanks Trystan! Another collector who reached out to me from my linkedin profile wanted me to get a picture of the tang for a signature. I didnt think machine made blades had signatures?
  8. Thanks Bruce! I have been through Ohmura but hadnt seen Stus page What did you identify yours as? Likely the same as mine, given their manufacture timeline Do you prefer Choji oil? Jesse
  9. Suya Shoten Trademark Four Cannonball Tokyo Factory
  10. Hello! Going through my small war collectibles stash during break and started looking deeper into this one. What im reading is potentially a Type 95 Shin Gunto with copper Tsuba. I welcome the boards thoughts on if I am off or not. Just starting my journey with this piece, even though it has been in storage for 20 years. Thanks!
