Ray Singer Posted September 23, 2020 Report Posted September 23, 2020 This is an excellent sword, which I owned for several years. Whoever buys it is going to be very pleased. Best regards, Ray 2 Quote
Blazeaglory Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 The hada is amazing on this one! Great price for such a well aged sword! There are swords made 30 years ago that are in a worse state so considering this blade is what? 650 years old or more? If I had the cash I would buy this in a heartbeat. The koshirae is just a bonus at this point! 1 Quote
