    Ok so if the yasurimei is fresh and since there are 2 mekugiana, do smiths re-dress the nakago to that degree after suriage or machi-okure? Just curious.. Thanks!

    standing utsuri...

    Point taken! Thank you.. I have noticed a thin komidare, but only one side shows hitatsura?

    standing utsuri...

    Jiro49 replied to Jiro49's topic in Nihonto

    Ok, thanks.. That makes sense. The reason I am asking is I have a blade signed naomune with a strange hamon and in its present polish you can see about half of the blade. At first I thought hitatsura but I see a thin suguba komidare plus it looks like utsuri coming down from the shinogi but it outlined with bright nei..?

    Does anyone have examples of standing utsuri? Does standing indicate that its as pronounced as the hamon? Thanks!

    Also, Mark is a good guy, plus he knows his swords! Don't hesitate to buy from him.

    If anyone can confirm the Japanese info on the bottom sticker I would appreciate it! I think it says 35,000 ryo but the little sticker in english states 3500 ryo..(a little difference) Also If anyone has heard of Ken Hisatoshi? He is the author of the information.. Did they still use ryo for an estimate of value after meiji? Thanks to all!

    Thanks! To me it looks like an eikyo bizen blade..? Ubu and machi-okure. But the tachi mei throws me off.
  15. Jiro49
    Here ya go...Its in very old polish...

    Just picked up a blade 24.25", tachi mei Naomune. Also there is a tag near the end of the saya that states Bizen Naomune 3500ryo.. Any info or links for oshigata would be appreciated! Regards,

    Too many (about 89%) of his blades get re-listed after they're sold on ebay... Has to be some ghost bidding going on...?
  18. Jiro49
    And price :D
  19. Jiro49
    Just an FYI, I spoke to Tsuruta-san and suggested maybe a discount for nmb members since there are roughly 2 thousand and with the yen so strong that might boost some sales with the members and he agreed.. I said 20% but I'm sure it would depend on the peice... Regards,

    Thank you...!

    Hello all, I have been on the fringes of the site for a while but recently have become more active. My name is Matt Lapoint im just north of Detroit. I have studied various forms of budo over the last 20yrs. Mainly Hsing-I and Shaolin five animal, but i have studied some sword arts and have been collecting only for about 3-5yrs... If anyone else is in my area please hit me up! Regards,

    How about a second string kanabo smith?
  25. Jiro49
    I doubt ebay will care, they get their percentage so... But I agree, I can only state my feelings and my friends regarding the blades that we have seen destroyed. Sorry to say I think he will continue! Regards,
