Gilles Posted December 27, 2022 Report Posted December 27, 2022 Dear all, I collect mekugi nuki and I will need some more for my little collection. The older, the better. Condition must be good. Please feel free to PM me if you have some to part with. Please have a look to the joined picture which show the one I already have. Thank you for your attention. 7 Quote
Brian Posted December 27, 2022 Report Posted December 27, 2022 Wow, some amazing ones there! Fantastic collection Gilles! Maybe @Bugyotsuji can ask around at the markets etc for any antique ones. 1 Quote
Gilles Posted December 27, 2022 Author Report Posted December 27, 2022 Thank you Brian, I really hope our friend will be able to find old ones in Japan. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted December 28, 2022 Report Posted December 28, 2022 Funnily enough, Gillles, I found a brass one on Sunday. It's not new, but it's not very old either, similar to four or five of the ones in your shot above. Your collection is larger than mine though! Quote
Gilles Posted December 28, 2022 Author Report Posted December 28, 2022 Thank you for your answer Piers. I haven't found one for a while that is why I am asking our community. Quote
Alan Morton Posted January 23, 2023 Report Posted January 23, 2023 Hi Gilles Some years Aoi Art had some silver Skull Mekigi Nuki for sale for about 6 months I considered buying one because the quality was good but my Mrs.poo pood the idea. Luckily she's gone but no silver Skull Cheers Alan. Quote
Gilles Posted January 24, 2023 Author Report Posted January 24, 2023 Dear Alan, I saw them but I thought at that time that their price were very high..... Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted January 24, 2023 Report Posted January 24, 2023 There’s the folding type possibility too. This one is Higo Zōgan. 1 1 Quote
Gilles Posted January 28, 2023 Author Report Posted January 28, 2023 Dear Piers, is this one available for purchase ? 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted January 28, 2023 Report Posted January 28, 2023 Ha Gilles, that is a difficult question. if I say yes, then you will ask me "How much?"... and I will get stuck as I have no idea what it cost or what it is worth! I like it, but I am not especially attached to it. If I were to sell, I would ask you to give me 90% and send 10% of the unit price to the NMB. It may be that they still make them, of course, so it might be easier to check that out first as a reference! I'll dig it out and see if there are any contact details in the booklet. 1 Quote
jesse Posted March 9, 2023 Report Posted March 9, 2023 Gilles, wow. I never even thought to collect them and your collection is very nice. The ones on your bottom line are awesome and I have never seen any of them before. I will keep my you in mind if/when I come across any. Warm Regards, Quote
Gilles Posted March 9, 2023 Author Report Posted March 9, 2023 Thank you for your kind words Jesse. Quote
kyushukairu Posted March 10, 2023 Report Posted March 10, 2023 That’s a lovely example, Piers. If Giles doesn’t take it, I would be interested. This one is NFS, but I thought I you might like to see it, Giles - solid silver in the shape of a gunto tsuba 3 Quote
