  1. Interesting Thanks Bruce I guess it’s still a Showa-to sword not much value there
  2. It dose look like it and the tip is Bent I know it’s a Showa but thought it added value with the kanji being a commemorative
  3. Any one ever see a sword like this? quite unusual dose it give any value?
  4. What dose that mean and is the special Is steel better then regular Arsenal or the same or as good as tamahagane
  5. Your right I should know that having senior moments
  6. I was looking for more info about the steel what makes it special I checked John slough and listing 3rd seat which I find strange for oil quench but I’m no expert on this
  7. Why is for general discussion
  8. I thought this sword was interesting but like to see what others think Also what is this Ujifusa yasuki steel used is it any better than Showa oil quenched or dose it matter To me Gendaito water quench is probably better ? Is this actually compared to Fukumoto Amahide,? I had to take 2 pictures of the description so it may be hard to read in order
  9. I was thinking of listing this Sword on EBay but would pay fees So I am discounting price 150.00 NEW price 2600 payment via F&F shipping and insurance 65.00 Any questions please ask Steve
  10. Back to my sword I’m selling here ! Prices is is 2750 + 65.00 shipping includes insurance How ever Now its free shipping
  11. Eric not a problem I may not sell on EBay since I would lose quite a bit of money on fees but if I do I will certainly will not use your description or photos I just got the bill for a polish I had done You probably saw how nice it turned out Any way Im selling it below the price on EBay if I had bought it there So if someone is interested they are getting it for a good price free shipping and of course knowing it came from a good source
  12. Thanks Volker62 I hope we should keep this in mind for a new year ! Confucius say Respect yourself and others will respect you.”
  13. Derek I will give you a a chance to buy my sword I’m thinking of listing it on EBay to get a larger audience Don’t mean to hav a bad attitude just angry not selling it sooner It has has alot of positive feedback by many experienced people Steve
  14. Thanks appreciate it! dose anyone know where I can find a leather strap that goes through the Tsuba and snaps on the saya It seems next to impossible to find one! Sometimes EBay has one but haven’t seen any lately
  15. Thanks appreciate it! dose anyone know where I can find a leather strap that goes through the Tsuba and snaps on the saya It seems next to impossible to find one! Sometimes EBay has one but haven’t seen any lately
  16. that was my first reaction but always good to get a other opinions thanks
  17. I thought I would post this because the hada is similar to the one I posted earlier So my take on it is a Chinese copy? But maybe not ! The signature through me off Any way any help would be appreciated
  18. Hi folks I found pictures of my sword to show what it looked like before it was polished It looks like a amateurish polish
  19. I understand shipping over seas is hard There’s only 2 polishers I know , ones In Hawaii The other in Las Vegas I generally use the 2nd choice The down side is its a very long waiting list and if he’s taking any new swords ! I probably spend too much money on swords but for me it’s worth it I do agree using the original mounts if possible Steve
  20. Hi Matsunoki not to worry about hijacking Its good to hear others interest! Hav you You considered getting it polished ? Dose Any one hav info about this smith? I found him online but mostly dealers giving it hype
  21. Thanks for your comments! Well I got 5 likes maybe that Will help off set the 500 dislikes lol Speaking of that I owe others an apology I was way out of line! Any way I think Woody and I were both surprised it wasn’t a Naminohira sword however after seeing the hada I’m happy it wasn’t Its amazing how he was able to bring out the beauty! It only contest to his talent as a polisher Steve
  22. I wanted to share another fantastic polish by Woody Hall The Wierd thing is I thought the sword was a Naminohira sword until the polish revealed possibly an entirely different smith Ikkansai Yoshihiro ! Any way Woody said I would be surprised! It actually blew me away because of the unique hada Anyway I thought I would share this Steve
  23. Thanks for the info about the fittings and all others help Hopefully others can see what nice sword this is and the qualities it has to offer I decided to extend the free shipping offer Steve
  24. Forgot to add the 65.00 shipping deal is over today
