jdawg221 Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 Looking to get more shinshinto swords into my collection, and while my fujiwara Yukinaga daito is a very nice sword, I'm more of a fan of the late Edo rather than the early Edo historically. Here's stats for the blade: Nagasa: 69cm Motokasane: 8.1mm Sakikasane: 5.5mm Sorii: 2cm Motomohaba: 3.4cm Sakimihaba: 2.2cm Signed fujiwara Yukinaga, no papers. Beautiful hamon, extremely clear jihada. Extremely sharp. Some surface scratches, but overall in great polish. Comes with Edo period koshirae with a beautiful dragon motif tsuba. Also comes with shirasaya and tsunagi, as well as a sword bag. I'm specifically looking for to trade it for a shinshinto piece with a nagasa between 68cm-72cm in koshirae. Don't care if it's mumei, obviously doesn't need papers as the piece I'm offering doesn't have papers. Id say the trade value for the sword is between _____ and _____ More photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uGiyTqbsDdjHQ931A 3 Quote
dimitri Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 The blade is magnificent. Beautiful koshirae too. You forgot to include the price, though. Good luck with the sale. 1 Quote

Rawa Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 What have happened to menuki on omote side? It is broken? [Vajra] Quote

[Vajra] The menuki on the omote side is actually staggered compared to the one on the ura side and goes underneath the following diamond. I'm assuming it was a request by the person who commissioned the koshirae as on basic katatemaki, depending on how you hold the sword the menuki can stab into your fingers as you swing the sword. With it staggered like this that doesn't happen. It's an issue I have with my custom bugei shobu 1 Quote
