Surfson Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 Check out this nice Shizu Juyo blade with equally nice mounts: https://www.aoijapan.com/katana-mumeiyamato-shizu62th-nbthk-juyo-paper Notice anything a bit disturbing? The tsuba has a through and through crack from nakago ana to mimi. It wasn't even mentioned in the description. Caveat emptor! Quote
Stephen Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 YAd have to be blind to miss that one JHC!!! Quote
Gakusee Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 Still a very good blade at an attractive price. Frankly, on a blade like this, the en suite koshirae are simply a welcome bonus. 1 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 Robert,that is why they fitted a FUKURIN! 2 Quote
Prewar70 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 I'd sell the koshirae it's not attractive in my opinion Quote
Vermithrax16 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 I didn't even notice it had koshirae as I was looking at a Yamato SHIZU blade. Quote
Guest Rayhan Posted March 17, 2018 Report Posted March 17, 2018 Shizu! And if you missed the crack in the Tsuba then oh well....Specsavers Besides Tsuba are made to be replaced Quote
Surfson Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Posted March 17, 2018 I liked both the blade and the koshirae - at least until I saw the busted tsuba! 1 Quote
