Alex A Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Listing this tanto to help pay for another tanto that is being made at the moment. I paid around £1400 including shipping and taxes and now offering it here much cheaper, looking for £1200 plus shipping. Looking for a quick sale, hence the price. Prefer UK sale but will ship to most places. Buyer pays any Paypal or any other fees. Folks are welcome to come see the blade. The smith is Kiyotomo, real name Matsui Ken. Still licenced and working from Tokyo. Some info, use google translate.....Swordsmith 松井清朋 宮入清平門 (seesaa.net) Miyairi school student, taught by Kiyohira Japanese SWORD - Miyairi swordsmiths (japaneseswordindex.com) It was a custom ordered blade, see Aoi Art page for details of mei and blade write-up. In hand, feels like quite a large tanto. Some Aoi pics thrown in. I will add some pics but the lighting was not great when i took them. Will try and take more when i get the time. There is a few small places of open grain on one side of the blade, as always looks worse in pics then in hand. It can be seen in the Aoi pic. Vid of smith, will add more details on next page. In shirasaya, comes with a nice purple sword bag. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex A Posted August 25 Author Report Share Posted August 25 Open to reasonable offers on this tanto. No silly offers. In hand, the Ji-nie really stands out as being in the best bunch I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex A Posted August 28 Author Report Share Posted August 28 Just in case anyone was wondering, not heard from James via pm so the tanto is still available. Thought i better make that clear. Would appreciate it if folks simply ask questions via pm, rather than add questions here, hence why i write stuff like "no pm sent" in my sales pages. Cheers.

Alex A Posted September 21 Author Report Share Posted September 21 Just to clarify, as have been asked already. There are NO issues shipping this tanto from UK to overseas, via UPS. Rough idea of price, £34 to the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
