    Thanks Brian for your positive comments I’m aware that this type of sword doesn’t have a nice hamon However it’s been my experience that with any sword having an Amateurish clean up loses its value. I also believe it would be hard to resell Maybe I’m wrong? Just my opinion John just curious who did the polish

    If I spent 6.k on a sword I would be sleeping on the couch for a long time

    Thanks for clearing up the hamon John As far as I’m concerned regardless who cleaned it ruined the integrity of the sword Not for me I’m returning it Too bad it’s a waste of a nice sword I haven’t had much luck with swords lately people who i thought i could trust cant

    Thanks for the info so was reading about this very interesting I Its not the best blade but I guess the history alone adds value provided the Mei is legit Steve

    I’m still sitting on the fence about scratches could I be mistaken ? I wish that I could have another do a hands on rather than pictures As Brian pointed out there’s no hada but I can see a straight hada Can the metal cause it to look more like scratches? Just an observation Here’s more pics steve
  16. Swords
    Now I’m a bit confused Brian i agree with you not having a hada Back to the scratches Are we on the same page that someone cleaned it leaving scratches? Steve
  17. Swords
    Yep I wasn’t 💯 sure but I agree Damm it didn’t look like that in the original photos
  18. Swords
    Thanks John I should had explained more clearly I know about the Manchurian in attempt to make pure steel I was asking more about the anesthetic darker surface of the blade and straight hada it almost looks like fine scratches but other swords I have seen looks similar to this one Anyway just an observation steve

    Here’s photos of the mei

    Hi Dose any one know about his swords? The hada It has a straight temper not much of a Boshi The blade itself looks darker as compared to other Traditional made ones it because of the forging and metal used The is my first ISSHIN MANTETSU sword so I’m not that familiar with his swords Steve

    Good advice Thanks Bruce
  25. Swords
    Thanks for the help guys I did asked about the star which isn’t one. I’m still sitting on the fence being traditional and making claims as such But I have to believe others on the forum who are more knowledgeable than I Is the lighter tan medal Tsuka not as sought after than the darker wood taped ? And Is this another indicator its not traditionally made Steve
