bigjohnshea Posted Monday at 06:20 PM Report Posted Monday at 06:20 PM (edited) Hello everyone. Have two Koto tanto available: First A yoroi doshi with Hozon paper attributed to the Tegai school in ~1400 AD. Nagasa 24.8cm Moto-haba 2.11cm Moto-gasane 1.1cm Thick girl, has a lot of appreciable qualities for a yoroi doshi. Acquired from another member here on NMB years ago. Great example of a yoroi doshi, and a rare example for this school. 3500$ OBO US Shipping included International shipping extra prefer paypal/venmo payments shirasaya, gold habaki, paper and sleeve included. Second Gimei Masamune, no papers. Clearly an old blade and in old polish, but hamon is still very bright and billowing. Lovely blade for the price point if you can look past the gimei. Not personally seeing anything on this blade that would keep it from getting a Hozon after you removed the signature. Acquired it from a Japanese shop I bought some other blades from. Nagasa ~11.5 inches Hira-zukuri Attractive horimono Asking 1500$ OBO US shipping included International shipping extra prefer paypal/venmo payments shirasaya, wood habaki and sleeve included See below for other photos Cheers!

bigjohnshea Posted Tuesday at 12:17 PM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 12:17 PM flexible don't be afraid to make offers Quote
bigjohnshea Posted Tuesday at 09:08 PM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 09:08 PM dropping prices a bit still open to offers Tegai blade is now 3250$ Gimei is now 1250$ Looking to move them Cheers! Quote
Barrett Hiebert Posted Tuesday at 10:46 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 10:46 PM John, I'd buy the Tegai yoroi doshi if I had the money! Beautiful blade, if it is indeed ~ 1400 AD. I love the earliest example koto yoroi doshi examples! So sweet! I hope you find a patron for it! Best regards, Barrett Hiebert 1 Quote
bigjohnshea Posted yesterday at 02:48 PM Author Report Posted yesterday at 02:48 PM Thank you, Barrett Perhaps this will make it easier, for everyone... 😉 Tegai is now 3000$ still open to offers on it Gimei is now 1000$ not open to offers on it after this price drop. It's a good Koto blade for this price. Cheers Quote
bigjohnshea Posted 9 hours ago Author Report Posted 9 hours ago Comin down to $2750 on the yoroi doshi. Might drop it one more time here, but honestly we're below acquisition cost now so not overly motivated to accept a much lower offers. Gimei is still $1000. It's a fair price for a koto tanto even with a gimei, so I'll hold onto it if nobody is interested at this price. Cheers! Quote
