David E Posted January 21 Report Posted January 21 I am curious because I have seen videos of swords on YouTube I am very new to collecting and inexperienced, but to me some of the blades seem to be listed relatively cheap for their condition/papers/looks Their YouTube handle is ‘Masa266’ Their eBay store goes by ‘Konnichiwa Tokyo’ Quote
klee Posted January 21 Report Posted January 21 He lists things very cheap and gets bought instantly. Mostly unpapered but there are occasional hozon and toku ho. If u look closely, most items will have some form of kizu but you cant really complain with how cheap they are listed. It s always good to remember that cheap unpapered blades are cheap bc they most likely cant paper OR they arent worth the shinsa money. Like a lot of the mumei shinshinto tanto and wak Quote
David E Posted January 21 Author Report Posted January 21 Thank you for the information The dream would be a (current) papered Katana for $1500 or less in good condition and polish unfortunately there are always drawbacks, or they sell fast Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted January 22 Report Posted January 22 At a glance many of the swords look too good to be true, when you examine the pictures closely you'll quickly see why they're so cheap. That being said if your goal is to simply own one genuine Japanese sword that's papered I doubt you'll find a more affordable source. 2 Quote
