george trotter Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 I have seen two swords by Suetsugu Shigemitsu...both mounted in Kaigunto mounts. Both were very nice swords IMHO. Care to show us the blade etc? Regards, Quote
cabowen Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 I have owned a blade by this smith and seen several others. The ones I am familiar with were decent swords, nothing great, but solid, traditionally made examples. Quote
