    Hello gents, after getting Robert Hughes‘ permission to reopen his original listing, I would like to offer you this fantastic Yoshihara Kuniie katana for sale, which I bought five months ago from him. I want to sell it, because I plan to purchase another katana in the near future. This katana stays currently in Germany and can be shipped internationally with DHL. My asking price is 8200€ obo. Payment should be made with paypal or bankwire transaction. All the best

    Most newly made swords with such inscriptions were tested shortly after they were finished, but there are also examples, which were tested several times over a relatively long period of time. Some tested koto swords also have such different cutting results from the two leading tameshigiri families chiseled into the nakago.

    Yes, lead tsuba make swords heavier, so the probability to cut multiple bodies is higher. This seems to be reasonable, because the customers wanted to get more or less spectacular results for each particular sword. The whole process was as expensive as the commissioned sword, so there was a financial interest to please the customers as well as possible.

    Hello Jean, if I remember correctly, in Markus Sesko‘s book tameshigiri there are some pictures, where two dead men are fixed one on the other with wooden sticks through the arms, so both bodies can be cut at once. There was also the habit to use tsubas made of lead to improve the cutting results from time to time. All the best

    As far as I know, Georg‘s Masayuki has a cutting test result on its nakago, where the performed cut is called golden wild goose. Probably each standard cut has such a specific name.
