bigjohnshea Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Welcome to the amazing world of Nihonto! I agree this is a solid purchase from a well respected dealer, and not at all a terrible price. It's certainly a damn sight better than my first Nihonto purchases. :-) What made you like this particular blade? Cheers, Quote

Nickupero Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Welcome Trevor, I tip my hat to you, solid purchase especially what you paid for it. The fact that it has hozon is a safe way to go especially when you're new to the game. Enjoy it! Quote
echizento Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Hello and Welcome, This is a very nice blade for your first purchase. Quote
Marius Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Buying from Danny Massey (http://www.nihontocraft.com) is always a good idea. Well done Quote
Adam M Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Welcome, a fine first purchase indeed Quote
Art Torano Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Trevor, If you do your homework, E-bay does have some nuggets now and again. Good Job, Art Torano Quote
jahova Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Posted September 18, 2014 Welcome to the amazing world of Nihonto! I agree this is a solid purchase from a well respected dealer, and not at all a terrible price. It's certainly a damn sight better than my first Nihonto purchases. :-) What made you like this particular blade? Cheers, My interest in graded sword smiths and the quality of the pics. :D Quote
bigjohnshea Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 It is amazing how good photos can really sell things online. :-) Are there any other reasons you liked this particular blade? It's style? The era it was made in? The smith himself? I always make an effort to research the swords I'm interested in. Usually if it's just another beautiful sword that won't do it for me. If there's a story behind it, or some details of it that are uniquely beautiful to me, then I get hooked. :-) Enjoy your blade. Cheers, Quote
