    I will hunt some kyu gunto next and will go for vinegar addition too - dunno how will work soda with choji solution and vinegar as booster. I wonder how vinegar bath or wet towel would work, also real copper/brass brush afterwards. This NCO shouldn't be polished to look as factory new - especially with these new high grade replica.

    I found set of T98 - crude, yet even small seppa [last one from koiguchi side] is present. Nakago-ana wasn't fully cut or was cut for specific slim blade.

    No wonder that it has Juyo looking at this mirrored hamon. Someone asked once for similar blade with hamon shifted „vulgarly” - He was wondering why He couldn’t get above tokuHo.

    Who knows men? Remember hitlers’s diaries? Forger started preparing them 7 years before fishing started. Like 1975 or sth. Buying empty notebooks, writing MK by hand - He was building legend way before pushed fakes to the market. This dude did his homework. With big money he could basically re-establish entire factory. Now we have ai, so he can run scan to check for any differences based on pictures. In 20 more years it would be unrecognizable without doing metallography or patina analysis.

    what kind of sarute it has? feels bigger then usual. Clasped hands? Can we see these asembly numbers at seppa and tsuba? Mei looks weird yet nakago shows different age at both mekugi ana.

    Drop more pictures. From first impression -waki is meiji for tourists? -katana chinese after war fake or late war „whatever cuts” with nakago cleaned by machine? There is leftover of mei at katana nakago? any snap button at saya? I don’t even see clearly how tsukamaki is done, so clear picture of tsuka. bad shiet to work around.

    The Craft of the Japanese Sword by Yoshindo Yoshihara link ~ 10$ usa Military Swords of Japan 1868-1945 - [Paperback???, looks like hardback with dust jacket] By Fuller, Gregory [green 1993] link ~ 30$ usa - if it's hardback its really good offer, I saw recently one green offered for just 10$ yet it was really low offer. leave emote if You want more offers.

    Bro, We are going offtopic but I think it's at top with drops being not a usual correction but sign of bubble burst. Same with spacex - forced nasdaq obligatory buyout will end with obvious drops starting from current month - imo sell now all connected with AI.

    Micron is like 12x in less then a year :D
  15. Marcin
    If it is really this small it was great offer. Blade looked like freshly repolished so this small kizu looked weird.
  16. Marcin
    I saw this blade sold recently. If You ever come back to forum please tell if blade had this chip all along and how big it was. looked like 5mm.
  17. Marcin
    Looks like worthy of saving in sold tab.

    Another one? https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/235461807_uma-thurman-signed-kill-bill-katanastyle-sword-coa-buffalo-ny

    Nice details, red paint near sarute barrel probably is anti-rust. This low numbers serie shows some big effort.

    I’m 100% sure we have one snake tsuba offer from Ford Hallam or his student. here You go, pretty: https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/54795-snake-tsuba/#comment-577754 One linked was sold already
  21. Marcin
    Nice. I’m getting specific requests for blades. I will send them to You.
  22. Marcin
    If seller is the one who bought blade from Pablo I don’t think he „will go Wesker” if You know what I mean.
  23. Marcin
    @jdawg221 it’s an auction of ex Pablo Kuntz blade. Koshirae looks like and is described by Pablo as crafted in the Meiji era. Go at unique Japan web page and run through old catalogues? His items usually have full paperwork. All with sufficient certificates. Cata link link Cheers

    David, I smply reposted example from linked discussion. Marcin
  25. Marcin
    You bring results. As You work not with nihonto here You could and should describe process. It’s better to learn from You then end with a blade in stomach as one seller in television once did.
