echizento Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Haven't seen one of these for sale. I know it can't be original to the period, but looks like a well made blade with some age. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-Samurai-Sword/292464663197?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Quote
Ray Singer Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 My impression is that this is Chinese (not an authentic Japanese sword). All of this seller's items appear questionable, with similarly artificial appearance to the nakago and a common appearance to the jihada. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Unokubitsukuri-Wakizashi-/292428365994?nma=true&si=tzeu4i8lm%252FJDUQT1rwrPe6ZqtQo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Gendai-Katana-/292414680383?nma=true&si=tzeu4i8lm%252FJDUQT1rwrPe6ZqtQo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Gendaitou-Wakizashi-/292408993216 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Gendaitou-Tanto-/292399884886 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Tanto/292470476104?hash=item4418994d48:g:gAcAAOSwb-tam2bp 1 Quote
lonely panet Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 heres one that really got some bids, I would hate to see there face when or if they try to send it to a shinsa https://www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Ken-/292446327785?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=6RyKV7cAKwF%252BDBbdfwj%252FrQw3qSw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc 1 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 When these were going for a few hundred bucks they were interesting, now they are going for thousands it's just sad. 1 Quote
echizento Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Posted March 8, 2018 Interesting, not typical to the Chinese type blades I'm use to seeing, this look well made. Now that I look at the hada of the blades you reference I see where they all look about the same. 1 Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Well, get a blade done by a modern blacksmith like Rick Barret and you will pay more than that. The big bummer is that it is falsely adverized and thus a scam. The blade istelf is pretty decent given it is probably made by some self taught guy. I have to repeat myself and think that there would be a honest markte for them woth martial artists or just people who want to have a custom blade made according to their specs. Quote
