Ruroni_Kenshin Posted November 22, 2019 Report Posted November 22, 2019 Yikes. I would hate to be the person ordered to hold onto the corpse. Beautiful sword tied to a gruesome past. Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted November 22, 2019 Report Posted November 22, 2019 Your collection is as amazing as it is gruesome, Gary. Quote
Brian Posted November 22, 2019 Report Posted November 22, 2019 Stunning items. Would love to see more pics. Quote
Jamie Posted November 24, 2019 Report Posted November 24, 2019 I have a Yamashiro Toshinaga with a cutting test from the same year I think. Interesting swords. Mine looks pristine. Especially thinking that it actually cut someone in half. Quote
Greg F Posted November 25, 2019 Report Posted November 25, 2019 Excellent post for an ex excellent sword. I really enjoy seeing your posts about your swords with cutting test info. Thanks for sharing. Greg Quote
