Jonas Ne Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Hello everyone, https://sbg-sword-fo...orums.net/user/54419 (Ichimonji) has a Hozon wakizashi I have been discussing purchasing. He said he was willing to lower the price with a direct wire but this obviously set off alarms in my head. Just reaching out here on the forum to see if anyone has done business with him in the past and can verify he is an honest and trusted seller. Thanks guys!

He's been a member since 2021 with around 271 postings, all posts to do with sales and some general conversation about nihonto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Ne Posted January 30 Author Report Share Posted January 30 After looking into it a little deeper, after I found an issue with one of his previous sales, I found that he is actually https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/profile/5962-sunny/ and the only presence I could find from him is a rather negative thread that actually ended in a temporary sale ban. Maybe this was a one-off incident, if so does anyone have any positive things to say about this seller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 That should tell you to give a pass, check the for sale section here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNSSHOGUN Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Yes, this fellow is rather infamous. He unfortunately re-polishes blades and uses them for cutting, best to avoid doing business with someone who mistreats Nihonto like that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensho Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Guys a whack job. He blew up on me after I called him out on several blades he bought from komonjo that he re-polished(but said they were professionally done in Japan) and a few "yari" that were actually rifle bayonets that he wouldn't show the nakago on or the stampings of one that that said U.S(Also sold on ebay by komonjo) No one on SBG seems to give a crap about what he does. He very obviously misleads people. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tensho Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Ebay seller. I never personally had an issue with komonjo. You need to be aware of what you're buying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTM72 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 I had some issues with him as well. He got angry because I was requesting additional pics of a wakizashi. Called me all kinds of names and told me to buy a rope and use it. Really nice guy. lol 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
