    That will be save for my Juyo piece near future 😆

    Finally received my sword. I tried to take some photo but still an amateur in this game. So far im still trying to learn the name for hamon and the hada. I think it would take sometime before I can identify them correctly. Nagasa : 71.7cm Sori : 2.2cm

    My Sukesada is 1581. Gotta say its massive. Blade 71.7cm and sori 2.2. I think it will be based on the condition of the blade than the actual Mei.

    Our humidity in Australia is very low especially where I live. Problem would be extra dry is equal more dust in the air. I think taking it out monthly to check is a good idea for now.

    Thank you, just another question. For the nakago oiling. Some said no some said yes, but I believe it’s necessary to lightly oil it to prevent red rust. What is your recommendation for oiling the nakago ?
  7. Bosco
    Okay, I bought one just then from ebay.

    Hi, I was just wondering is 3 in one oil safe for Japanese Blade ?. I don’t have access for o Choji oil so thinking of using this as an alternative.
  10. Bosco
    Thats a lot of info, thank you Jussi. I did read a few last night, both seem to have lot of joint blade. Some said the 3rd finishing Kinmichi 2nd half finished blade, or made at the same time…But the date was really confusing sometimes from different sources. I will have to wait till the blade in my hand and do more study on them by then.
  11. Bosco
    Yes, you got both of them right. I bought the Wakizashi today, happened to come across that Juyo Takana. Are they made by the same smiths ?. According to the Juyo one it joint work by 2nd and 3rd generation of Rai Kinmichi. If so I would go on the hunt for another katana like that. I like things involving with Buddhism and that branch of Chrysanthemum .

    Thank you Brian. This will stop me buying another one to make up a Daisho.
  13. Bosco
    I was just wondering if this two can be a Daisho ?. First is the Katana , the Wakizashi file too big I have to separated into 3. Look almost identically.

    Depends on your country regulation. Any dealer should be able to ship to you without a problem. With 1k-2k USD I think u can get some used shinsakuto with that amount of money. It’s a big problem selling chinese made one and claimed it made in traditional methods. So better off else where to ask this question.
  15. Bosco
    Just buy a proper one …. Doubt his one made in Japan at all. Nihonto signed with School or Smith name. Not a business owner …
  16. Bosco
    You very wrong here, to be considered Traditional Nihonto it has to be tamahagane. So he selling you china made one. Maybe he just a third party seller, he has his name custom on sword to sell to you.
  17. Bosco
    Look like you buying a shinsakuto ( freshly made ). Sound very fishy, could be unknown smith, could be very well known smith but he needs money so he selling few for cheap price ?. I strongly suggest you not buying it if this is the case. Many smiths out there would proudly have their name sign.

    This Jac is clearly twisted his word whenever convenient to back up his statement. Other day he said he cares about it functionally rather than artistic/history . Now he twisted it around ??.
  19. Bosco
    Mongolian, Masamune… good story. Anything else to benefit your argument ?.
  20. Bosco
    Hi Brian, any chance AUS shinsa come back again ? . I couldn’t find any info on it.
  21. Bosco
    Acrylic case does the job. Im buying a few now.
  22. Bosco
    After 3 years the first one still on their page 😆. Impressive price I assume
  23. Bosco
    That must be a good deal, only one I found with that price is a tanto. But maybe I’m after one freshly made. Sorry for the confusion here, yes lot of them in 3500 budget already made one.
  24. Bosco
    I don’t think 3500 USD can buy a tamahagane one. At least 7000 USD for decent one. 3500 is for the imitate one which is not tamahagane.
  25. Bosco
    Any info on them ?. Some said legit some said their price is at the highest.
