Bargain Wakizashi


IJASWORDS

Recommended Posts

Years ago, I bought this wakizashi as a learning piece for my grandson to gain an interest in nihonto. It has every feature that made it a great starter for a beginner..... Old signed Ubu blade with visible features, Saya with Kurikata, pockets for Kogai and Kogatana, a WW2 hanger, old 2 piece Habaki, and all the fittings complete. 

I imagined him sitting down with his Kanji book, and sword features book, gaining an interest, so that one day he may take over my collection. 

NOPE!!! His mother (my daughter) totally canned the idea. 

So is is for sale, USD 300, plus post. A bargain, sold as is, and hopefully goes to another budding collector, maybe a fantastic Christmas present.

Damn I missed it. 

 

And yes Chris art is art. I see no point in dismissing any item simply because it is a "weapon", especially considering that literally anything can be a weapon if you try hard enough. I have gotten enough weird looks and comments for having a crap ton of knives around that I am more than familiar with prejudice of this kind.

 

Great blade, and I have to say good on you for being willing to part with something for such an incredible deal to help out someone starting out. It has been one of the things that has really stuck out to me about the people here, willing to help and share knowledge. So thank you for that.
