Hi,
is anyone among you has bought the book: The Japanese Sword: Guide to Nyusatu Kantei: Koto, Shinto dozen list by Paul Marti? Any opinions or comments about it?
Thanks in advance.

I have it. It's just a tiny pocket reference, 48 pages:

The first 18 pages are blade shape changes, etiquette, the exact same stuff you have already seen several times if you've read online / other books. The kantei rules are a nice thing to have if you go do a kantei session somewhere. It covers the grading scale / marks & the main roads in a just a couple small pages, and then the eponymous Dozen lists make up the last 20 pages.

 

If you already have Connoisseur's or similar, the only reason to pick this up is for the convenience of checking it during an actual kantei session. Otherwise the info exists within larger references.
