Stephen Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Jock bit worried here,,,that nakago looks like it was ground or buffed Quote
Bruno Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Nice blade anyway....is it signed? Quote
Amon Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Hi! Was this blade from the Chinese dealer? Best regards, Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Yes it was. Thought about bidding until I saw that it was from China. Quote
Grey Doffin Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 I'm thinking hand made, water quenched, made in China by Paul Chen or someone similar. The nakago looks that way and the very shallow, even too shallow for Kanbun Shinto, sori is something else I expect out of China. Grey Quote
Bruno Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 I remember this seller from....Hong Kong right? He used to sell what looks like real Japanese swords, but I was always wondering why all of his swords were sold without any fittings(even habaki), strange... . The swords seem to to be not very old, often sell as gendaito(if I remember well). Anyway, the seller makes good money each time he is selling one. The Grey's opinion might be an correct explanation.
