  1. Thanks to everyone for the feedback. For me, this is just the beginning. I hope to boast of something better soon.
  2. Hello and thank you for welcoming me, yes this is my first sword. It's nothing special, but it's wonderful for me. I have been collecting knives for the last 13 years and nihonto was something that interested me a lot. This is a great way for me to touch something authentic even in this state. Despite all the remarks that may be made about the blade for me, this steel makes pale everything that has passed through my hands so far as blades.
  3. Just wanted to share a little find from the flea market in my country. Blagoy saw it a couple of days ago but was not able to take a closer look at that time. He told me to go look at it if I have the time, so I went I saw, and I bought it. I bought it for 300 euros. The pictures aren't great because my main camera has issues, but you will get the general idea. The nakago has been cleaned (polished). For me, it is incredible that the blade has almost no rust. The polish on the tip is damaged and there are marks on the blade that indicate that it has been used at some point. The blade fits perfectly in the saya. The blade lenght is 250 mm, the cutting edge is 170 mm and the blade thickes is 4,5 mm. I will upload better quality pictures once i have fixed my main camera. If you have any thoughts or doubts about this blade, please share it.
  4. Thank you very much for the information
  5. Thank you very much for the information. Can you explain to me the "15 points", is it some kind of rating system of the smiths?
  6. Hello to everyone. I am thinking of buying my first Japanese sword. The problem is that I am an absolute beginner when it comes to knowledge about Japanese swords. I have been collecting blades for a very long time, but I have never owned a Japanese traditionally made one. The information I have is very little because I will see the blade in a couple of days, but I wanted to get some information about it if I can before that. It is a middle-sized wakizashi from the Edo period. The owner says it was sighed Echino Maeshu but I can't find anything about the sword smith at sho-shin.com or anywhere else. Does anyone know anything about this sword smith? The blade comes in a shirasaya and it has a passport no NBTHK certificate. It has a handle, guard and a sheath . Also the owner said it has a wooden replica sword and a talisman (not sure what that is ?) I will attach a couple of bad pictures that I have of the blade any information is much appreciated. Thank you Mihail
