Mori Daimyo Nobukuni Katana

[bigjohnshea]

I'm the owner of this blade and the new price (pending site update) will be 13,000$

Note, the hozon paper was lost by the previous owner, but can be re-issued if sent back to Japan.

Phenomenal blade... Juyo quality if only the rules were different for shinsa. 

 

Will consider trade up to 4000$ of the deal if a trade 

 

Cheers!

John

A very handsome blade John! Forever out of my price range though. Congrats to whomever picks this one up!

[Ken-Hawaii]

That is one spectacular blade, John. Hope it goes to someone who will appreciate it.

[Bugyotsuji]

Agreed！

 

Just to add clarity, this is from the great 毛利 (Mo-ri, Mohri, Mōri or Mouri etc. 'long ō sound') family of 長州 Chō-shū.

 

(Not the 森 Mori family of Gifu and Tsuyama.)

[bigjohnshea]

Thank you for that clarification Piers!

Such eye candy, John!

Biting my fist. Don't want to pull out of the stock market these days and probably would not survive the wife's reaction, though probably less then her shoe budget judging by what I see when gazing into the depths of her closet. If this one lingers I might crumble, it just ticks so many boxes. Good luck on the sale!

Thank you Omar!

There is a lot of interest in this blade. A lot of emails coming at Andy apparently. 🙂

[bigjohnshea]

There has been a lot of interest in this blade but no offers. I am flexible on price, and if people have an offer in mind please do not hesitate to make it to me or Andy. This beautiful blade needs a new home. 🙂

Cheers!

I believe this is what people refer to as 'flying tards'.

Didn't know that this dealer was on this forum ?I sent them a e-mail about a sword purchase[ not this sword] and never received a reply, so I went elsewhere do you have to be known to them before they will deal with you?

Mark,

If you are referring to Nihonto.us, Andy Quirt is a fine gentleman and helpful dealer. I will say that there was a spell a time ago where Andy had some lapse in communication, but that is not typical.

 

P.S. - I saw that Nobukuni sword in person a few years back - indeed, stunning.
