nickm Posted October 11, 2021 Report Posted October 11, 2021 Made a silly lowball offer on this wakizashi that to my surprise was accepted.. Looks interesting to my relatively untrained eyes. Surely a gimei blade but weirdly happy to have a inexpensive forgery in my collection. Wondering thoughts about it 1 Quote
Edward Mahle Posted October 11, 2021 Report Posted October 11, 2021 @nickm I like it for the right price, looks like daimyou54eb's eBay page? One thing I really like about Japanese sellers, they don't take flattering pictures. From my experience, they usually show up better looking in person. Quote
nickm Posted October 11, 2021 Author Report Posted October 11, 2021 Yep that's the guy.. Of course I'm weary of eBay in general but thought it was a good looking little blade so offered 300 and he had it listed for 2000. Needless to say did not expect him to accept it. Mei is Hasebe Kunishige so that checks off the gimei part of the collection 2 Quote
Infinite_Wisdumb Posted October 11, 2021 Report Posted October 11, 2021 300 cant go wrong under nearly any circumstance! Quote
Surfson Posted October 11, 2021 Report Posted October 11, 2021 It has some nice activity. An 85% discount sounds pretty good too! Quote
nickm Posted October 11, 2021 Author Report Posted October 11, 2021 Thanks for the replies.. a pic of the "mei" Quote
Shugyosha Posted October 12, 2021 Report Posted October 12, 2021 Hasebe Kunishige? So it might be gimei... But joking apart, nothing to dislike there and certainly not at that price. Good score! 1 Quote
