IJASWORDS Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 Brodie, that is gorgeous mate, I am insanely jealous, wish mine were that nice. Got a few of his, one papered and polished, yours leaves mine for dead! 1 Quote
Stephen Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 So very fine...had one really close to yours tad different hamon but think it was because of Hofine polish. Hada spot on...my favorite blade hands down, i rue the day i sold it. So good to see that wet swirling look again. Thanks for sharing!!! 1 Quote
mecox Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 I had a couple over the years, but none showed that type of potential. Thats a treasure. Mal 1 1 Quote
16k Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 That is an unspeakable beauty. What a lovely Hada! 1 Quote
Stephen Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 Just think what it'd look like if polished in Japan. Still all in all a fine blade. Quote

davidequis Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 How does an 80 year old blade retain such condition? Or has it been re-polished? Quote
vfc Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 Hi Brodie are you the new owner, It was a bit over my price range, it is a beautiful sword.I would drool over the photos every day. Quote

I'm assuming it has been repolished, this is how I brought it. I don't think war time polish was this good? Thabks Quote

Bugyotsuji Posted October 20, 2020 Report Posted October 20, 2020 The tobiyaki looks like the Sanzui 'hen' on the left of 江 in his nakago Mei. A beautiful blade indeed. Quote
John A Stuart Posted October 20, 2020 Report Posted October 20, 2020 Yes, it does, but, alone it doesn't normally exist, being representative to 水 Quote
djcollection Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 A beautiful blade indeed, thanks for sharing! Quote
