We all know so called “ scientist “ has high ignorance and always in denial. If it doesn’t fit his study he won’t accept it.

Some of them are actual dealer as well. So not all bad. I bought 2 from yahoo auction. One with old green paper and other one with current NBTHK paper. The Sukesada with current paper is a big win. My broker even wants to buy the blade off me. So not all bad, maybe go with the one that has paper just to be safe.

I doubt it. Any reference ?.

Sold 22m Yen. Holy f 😆

The registration is 1950s , the kicho is 1975. Seem fine. Not a big name too. I let the pros here check out the Mei.

How many sword have you seen/held, own ?.

Now he gonna ask you for reference 😆. You better watch out, the reference inspector coming for ya.

I’m not a scientist, I’m only into Money, Antique, Art. Slowly building up my collection, my aim is for a Juyo Token piece in the next 2 years

Hi, Well his school is Mino-den style I believe. Kamakura Tachi is what I requested. Which happened to be one of his works. So I like it I grabbed it 😆

I gotta say his sword is beautiful. Can’t wait to see it in person.

Right on the spot. How did you figure it out ?

My bad , it’s Yoshida Masaya.

Hi Rayhah, To be more specific, its mimic Yamatorige Sanchomo one. I will post full details once it’s in my hand.

This will be a Kamakura Tachi, Mino-den.

Hi, I’m ordering a Shinsakuto at the moment. Just want to hear everyone thought on them. Some said they are just copying of olden day sword, but aren't they’re all part of the progression ?. They all based on certain foundation. I love nihonto since I was a kid, I want to support the current smiths so they can keep up their tradition.

Do you have a reference for this ?. And i want the reference for that reference as well. Whatever you learn to become a scientist do you back track to the beginning for reference ?. Let me ask the an apple for the reference.

Well I found 2 swords with honami Mitsumi certificate. One of them is Kiyomaro, less that 600,000 Yen lol.

Dear Jacques, Out of all the members here. I found that you are the most unhelpful person. Most of the time you dropped a short comment and it’s automatically a statement, you wont let anyone have an opinion. Guess what ? Look like you are part of the climate change group but because of this attitude I will make sure my team let their trucks run longer than usual to contribute to that climate change. No wonder people doesn’t want to listen to climate activists.

I was giving instructions to my broker in Japan. Everything was in Japanese. But lets inbox

Ok lets rewind. From this photo and my photo. I can tell we bought from the same dealer 😆. If your one doesn’t have certificate I think the term Kamakura definitely was from dealer description.

Look pretty much late edo for my newbie eyes. Was going to bid on one by Fujishima that thin and look just like this. Maybe less sori than your one. Gimei can be there since the first day your sword was made.

Hi, just fact, dealer offer to send to shinsa with strong guarantee. So I’m asking is it worth the try or keep it that way, it’s a cost effective question. As Rivkin said above, I will keep it that way. Thank you for this comment, its hard to find someone I can actually having a discussion with rather than the one just here to drop a statement.

I see, nice conversation.

Thanks Brano, I said before it’s not an investment, but I do like it to hold its value when it’s come future resell. I’m new to nihonto world. Books is coming, i got some e book from friend to learn but I prefer a blade in hand to compare and see with my naked eyes. I bought 5 recently so I want to make sure they do have some sort of value/art/uniqueness to it. So I know I will highly sell them off in the future and go for something superior for a heirloom piece.

I had a quick search about this kazu uchi mono. You said this since 2021, this is only information you said about this signature. Any other information like how well the sword was forged, how did it survive the massive flood ?. I understand what you said came right off the book but come on man, give me any extra info ?. We gotta be open minded when judging an antique piece. Just because the book said it’s 1 then everything you see is 1. I know everyone is well experienced and educated here, but for a new comer and new collector like me its a good way to draw me away from this community.
