Ray, you do have very beautiful blades for sale, unfortunately a bit out of my price range for now.

 

Warm Regards,

Jesse

Thanks for that @jesse. There is actually quite a bit that never makes it online (website, Instagram, FB, etc). The past few days I sold a nice signed shinto wakizashi in kaigunto koshirae, a hirazukuri katana with horimono, a long shinshinto katana (signed and dated with Satsuma koshirae) and others at lower budget levels. If I can help you find something specific within your budget, please reach out and I will keep you in mind when I see pieces that you might like.

 

Best regards,

Ray
