Jon Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 I’ve seen this blade for sale, but the shape seems a bit off to me. As a learning exercise ( I’m trust trying to improve my eye on place shape) what are others thoughts. Its also for sale for £650 which seems a touch over priced for the state of the blade and fittings. Quote
Alex A Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 Hi Jon, this is a red alert for a purchase Quote
Jon Posted January 8, 2022 Author Report Posted January 8, 2022 Cheers for that Alex thankyou for that confirmation, even to my very inexperienced eye ( I’ve just started studying) something seems off about this blade. Quote
Alex A Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 Hi Jon, everything is off about the blade, its been heavily messed with. The only thing remotely ok is the tsuka. Quote
Jon Posted January 8, 2022 Author Report Posted January 8, 2022 Cheers Ray, the Kaifu school is not something I have looked at yet, I will note them down to look up. Quote
Alex A Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 Some info here Kaifu 19 05 2016v1.pdf (to-ken.uk) That nakago though 1 Quote
Wolfmanreid Posted January 9, 2022 Report Posted January 9, 2022 That blade looks like it is likely unsalvageable unfortunately. I would stay well away from it at half the asking price... Quote
