https://www.aoijapan...kubetsu-hozon-token/ Just curious, how often do these kinds of daisho nbthk certificate happen. Is it common, uncommon or rare that this happens?

I'm actually getting a sayagaki from Tanobe sensei right as we speak.

Thanks

Singnil is me, will show the papers once I receive the sword

https://www.kinghous...-kodachi-by-tomoyasu Another tomoyasu tachi I found but it seems like a gimei sword

Base on nihontoclob.com, there seems to be 2 ko-bizen tomoyasu. Aoi seems to think the sword is form the juei era

Seen this on a website called katanahanbai https://katanahanbai.com/en/katana/ My guess is around 150-200k usd

It's a consignment sale, that's why they listed is before they received the papers

I think their disappointment is from it being labeled as a saiha

Considering your opinion, makes me want to get it but I agree, we need to see the nbthk papers to make the decision to get it or not

Thanks for the information Ray singer.

https://www.aoijapan.com/tachi-：-unknown-signature-ko-naminohiranbthk-tokubetsu-hozon-token/ A recently added piece by aoi-art. Nice curvature, koshi-sori, ubu and originally signed but signature is too worn down to read. Usual big name attribution by honami nisshu but I have 2 concerns, one the hamon is really close to the edge. Is it something common in the school or is it just worn down due to polishing. Second, there is a piece of paper that was posted in the listing for the sword. I'm not sure what it says or what it's is for. Any information is appreciated.

No major flaws just some black rust spots along the blade and some more recent rust spots near the habaki area

Bought it as my first shinto sword since I mainly focus on koto swords, I thought I paid a fair price but just wanted opinions form others to know it's value

I won a auction on this a while ago for about $600-$700usd on ebay. It has nthk papers and was attributed to den echizen seki I would like to know if I had overpaid it or not

A better quality picture of the jigane

The comments made by the judges

A recent acquisition from Pablo kuntz from unique Japan. Thought I share a high quality, soshu den katana by kashu sanekage. Though it fail 70th juyo shinsa, it was given great remarks by the judges
