md02geist Posted February 25, 2018 Report Posted February 25, 2018 Hello all! Up for your consideration is an excellent quality and condition Wakizashi by the Nio / Nioh school. Highly underrated in my opinion. Purchased from J Reid here on NMB and I have enjoyed studying it. It is signed Nio Kiyotsugu and I agree with J Reid’s assessment of it being Muromachi. I will ask him to chime in with measurements if he has them as I don’t know them offhand. Failing that I will take some Monday. Pictures are from his original listing. Yours for the same price I paid; 720USD. Price does not include shipping or insurance which will be calculated on a per buyer basis. I will not make a single dollar on this and will be including one of my own sword bags. Comes with shirasaya, a nice habaki, and a sword bag. A fantastic entry level priced piece for the collector, enthusiast, or student. Please PM me if interested!
Sonoman Posted February 26, 2018 Report Posted February 26, 2018 Looks like a great piece to start off with. PM sent.
md02geist Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Posted February 26, 2018 It absolutely is. I have had it only a short time but have thoroughly enjoyed studying it. My aim is to pass on the good savings that were given to me by a fellow NMB member so another member here can study it as well. I think you will enjoy this blade!
J Reid Posted February 26, 2018 Report Posted February 26, 2018 Unfortunately I don't remember exact measurements. But off the top of my head it was about 18.5 inch nagasa, 4 inch nakago. 7mm Moto kasane & 3mm saki-kasane. Give or take Solid and healthy blade. Nice and dark wet-ish jigane.
