Used Book: Swords & Swordsmiths Of Bizen Province By Fred Fimio 3Rd Edition


NihontoEurope

Recommended Posts

Ian,

 

That is not the 3rd edition (I think earlier as you say).

Maybe a plan B for me.

 

Stephen,

Yes, the mei oshigata is important. I have so many Sukesada that I really need to know which one is which. Impossible to set a correct price on them otherwise. 

Trying to save money by pursuing a used book : )

If I would know for a fact that it would help me with only 1 of my blades I'd purchase a new one.

 

Blagoy,

Link is not working.

I did see a NEW on amazon today. Same?

When I was young and innocent, I bought this book. When I read it, I knew I had been conned. This is the wortheless book I have ever read on Nihonto. You will find very general infos on Bizen, easily uploaded on any Nihonto website, then the list of Bizen smiths listed by Hawleys. That’s all. Nothing worth about Ichimonji, ko Bizen, Osafune, Soden.... NEVER BUY THIS BOOK....

 

Stephen is 100% right
