dominnimod Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 What seems like a healthy cheap katana blade in old polish wit bo-hi, price seems fair, why it hasn't sold yet? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Japanese-WWI-WWII-Military-Katana-Officers-Swords-Blade-28-long/263758570294?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 Quote
Ray Singer Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 Looks like a mass-produced blade such as one would find in kyu-gunto koshirae. 1 Quote
SAS Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 No numbers or stamps I could see. Not a bad price... 1 Quote
lonely panet Posted June 18, 2018 Report Posted June 18, 2018 agrees with john, steve and ray. very common semi machine made blades made to fill the huge demand of the kyu gunto range. with habaki ,it would make a great iai piece Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted June 18, 2018 Report Posted June 18, 2018 It's evidently just the blade, so koshirae would be needed to turn it into an iaido blade - assuming his sensei would allow a sharp blade at all. 1 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted June 20, 2018 Report Posted June 20, 2018 They are good blades, I believe made using the Murata-To process. Quote
