It was a good idea and worth a try @Bugyotsuji but sadly didn't work..
-
Thank you Dale already looked at it before posting but I couldn't find it in there.
-
Hey guys, I had this tsuba for a while and wondering if you can help me identify the plant on it? Thanks!
-
For the Wakizashi, you said you liked it, may I ask what was it you liked about it? Cause I can't even see the blade apart it's in very bad condition. For the Katana, I can't even say if it's real or not...Also a broken or terrible kissaki. I saw your koshirae, this blade! won't fit in it...looking at your koshirae's sori(curve)..I can easily say this blade won't match..usually there is a very very low chance to find a match anyways..I hope you didn't pay much for these.
-
Yes it's traditional, if this the answer you are looking for at the moment.
-
You haven't share the pics of the blade yet. From the nakago it's traditional.
-
I don't like it. Terrible nakago. Not one bit jealous Joking aside, I'm very happy for you. Super exciting. What colour tsukamaki you have in your mind? Going black again or fancy a yellow-ish brown tone?
-
Yoshi something..Yoshitsugu maybe?
-
Thank you for sharing @Ford Hallam

You will always remember that feeling while driving back home!

Nan-BOOOOO!!!!! from the Netherlands!
-
Very beautiful Jean Do you remember how long it took to forge the blade? Would you like to try a mini Katana? Of course I don't know the process very much but maybe you can smelt a tsuba and can make 2-3 mini katana out of them?
-
It's special ordered if I understood correctly. From whom I have no idea. You can watch the full video here, mini katana is at the end.
-
An old book I read depicted Tsuba as " Samurai's only jewellery that he could show"

I hate snakes.

Was just watching a sword show on NHK and this came up. Mini Katana! What she told is that this was made in the traditional way, tamahagane, real hamon, fittings and everything...Would you collect these?
-
Looks something in between I have no experience with these but want to learn the answer as well.
-
Not so scary but great work for sure. Check out the detail on how light reflects from the lantern.
-
Noah, if you have the budget and living in the states, why don't you buy a blade in polish from a member in the board?
-
Makes me happy seeing Bruce interested in these...Better late than never
-
Dear Bruce, it's called udenuki-no-ana. You can find many examples if you google it.

Interesting green saya, katana signed Masamune
Okan replied to Bridges's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
This is a wakizashi not katana. That saya is for a katana not for this wakizashi. -
Yes and also the greyish veins around it

Here is a collection&collector that I envy with 270 swords
