Not to offend, but with this statement in mind, wouldn't masahide's accounts of breakage in shinto art swords disprove this notion? Also to draw a comparison to cars; there are cars that are beautiful and fast, and there are cars that are just fast. One doesn't necessarily mean the other

Thanks! Honestly this was the info I was looking for. Couldn't find anything online describing his style

Already have shinto-shi. For some reason Markus only states that Yukinaga existed and his swords apparently cut well, which honestly is not much to go off of.

Recently picked up a fujiwara Yukinaga daito, and for a ryowazamono Smith with relatively high ratings there's oddly next to no info on him. Besides the obvious "it's because he's a bungo Smith," are there any other reasons for this? Or perhaps I'm not looking in the right places.

honestly pretty good deal

uploaded better pics to the linked photo album, compressing them right now to upload here

Will do, planning on posting better pics when the weather improves where Im at.

Due to money problems, ill be selling my mumei kodachi in handachi fittings. The blade is mumei, as well as ubu, with features that make me and others who have looked at it believe to be yamato sue tegai school. I have used this for kenjutsu for the past couple months, and it handles excellently. Has not been cut with, has not had any blade on blade contact, has only been oiled with choji. Very nice koshi sorii, as well as very little kizu present on the blade surface. Mounts are most likely late edo, and in excellent condition. The koshirae alone could be sold for around 800 dollars. Blade is most likely from the 1550s-1560s, and would be worth getting it papered. Saya has kogatana ana, and is in remarkably good condition with only a very minor cosmetic crack on the mune side of the koiguchi, and some light marks near the kojiri. Stats: Nagasa: 21 inches Sorii: ~1 inch Hada: Masame Boshi: Hakikake Hamon: Hoso Suguha with hotsure Photos: https://photos.app.g...gl/f34sJreAgUn93oca8 Selling for an affordable 1300 shipped.
