    Hello, Just put of curiosity, this is my first time ordering a piece from AOI Art. My question is for those that has ordered from Japan (specifically AOI Art), how long does it take to receive my order? I ordered yesterday and it's going to Ohio. Thanks in advance

    I'm not too keen with Nihonto yet, but do you think it was fine sort of decoration?

    Hi Grey, Thanks for your response. I believe you're familiar with the piece. I got it from Mark over the weekend. Kind regards

    Hello all, I just purchased my very first katana this past weekend. That only thing is, it looks like a piece of paper was taped around the mid part of the koshirae so there's a very slight discoloration. I tried cleaning it with warm water and soap, and it cleaned it some. My question is, is it safe to apply Renaissance Wax on the koshirae? Thanks in advance

    Hello Alex, i'm looking for an F/K for my katana, so if you don't mind, could you please give me the size of the Dai. is that the one with the gold highlights?
  13. Spunjer
    Never mind. i just saw the .pdf files. didn't realized it was being sold as a pair.

    What are the prices and sizes for the fuchikashira dragons (with and without gold) ? Or do you have a site?
  15. Spunjer
    Is AOI in general in the high side, or low side when it comes to pricing? Seems like they're very easy to deal with..

    Ok thank you

    hello, what is the rule of the thumb in regards to tsuba sizes and Nihonto length? even as a beginner, i'm pretty sure there has a to be a standard since it won't look aesthetic if the tsuba that is being paired up with the blade is smaller or larger. for instance, what size tsuba would go nice with a 19" nagasa wakizashi?
  18. Spunjer
    What's the size (diameter and hole size) of that one with coins and how much is he asking for it

    Koshirae question

    Spunjer posted a topic in Tosogu

    Hello all, this might sound stupid but, how does one add a koshirae to a blade that came with a shirasaya? do you have it custom made? what about the fittings that go with it? is there like a theme that you built? i saw a few at the Aoi Japan website, but how do you know they fit? i know, lots of question...

    Hello, Brand new at this hobby, so I'm learning a lot and I'm not gonna let a little travelling interfering with that. I will be visiting relatives in O'ahu next month so I was wondering if there are any places that I can check out, maybe even buy Nihonto. I'm not sure if swap meet had them, but I'm looking more for like an antique store or a dealer. Mahalo in advance!

    Thank you for the links, sir!

    thank you for the quick response! Geraint, those two pieces are actually stateside and are currently being auctioned. there are no papers with it, so basically it's What You See Is What You Get. i'm not sure if i'm allowed to divulge the auctioneer here?

    Hello all, i'm new here, and i just not too long ago got interested with Nihonto. so new in fact that i don't own a piece yet. at this point i'm browsing online and came across these two pieces; a katana and a wakizashi. i showed it to a friend of mine, but he told me they're not bad pieces, but i do need to have the signature double check by one of you guys to see if it's legit or not. i would really appreciate any help that i can get. if i posted this on the wrong board, my apologies. kind regards Ron
