Nickupero Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 Hi Guys, have this item that will be up for sale real soon, thought I'd share it here first. Mei reads "Kashu Kanazawa-Ju Sumimiya Kanenori kore o Tsukuru (Kao)" and "Futatsu Dou Otosu Jokyo 3rd year 8th month lucky day - Namban tetsu o Motte Kore o Tsukuru". Its interesting for several reasons, O-wazamono ranked smith, the obvious 2 Body Tameshi, Namban tetsu, and what it seems like the smiths Kao. Appears the Nidai Kanenori did the cutting test right after forging the blade.. maybe even before signing it. Dated 1687 AD Comes with Tokubetsu Kicho paperwork, new NTHK-NPO, koshirae & Shirasaya. Priced at $17,500 US for members, plus paypal and shipping. Donation will be honored if sold here. Thanks for those who watched
xcivicdx Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 amazing blade, if i had the money right now this would be the buy id make
nihonto1001 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Nice. Test cut Wakizashi are quite rare. Joe Forcine (Soul of the Samurai on Facebook) did an interesting lecture on it a while back at one of the Florida shows. Maybe we can do some horse trading some time.
