Raiden631 Posted May 5 Report Posted May 5 Just added a nice HUGE Nobuie Utsushi. Fantastic iron with lump tekkotsu on the mimi and ji. 9.1 x 8.5cm. SD 3.5mm and 7.5-8.1mm at the mimi. Thing is a brick. 5 2 Quote
Spartancrest Posted May 6 Report Posted May 6 Matt lovely piece - coincidence as I just won one on auction but I have no idea what I will find under the dirt and rust! Do you think Nobuie was a "Nutter for Nata"? 2 1 Quote

I like the udenuki-ana on yours, they are unusual on an already sukashi guard. I don't know how many like it there might be? This one from a post last year might interest you.

Spartancrest Posted May 8 Report Posted May 8 (edited) I am beginning to think Nobuie made nothing else! https://www.jauce.com/auction/x1229171949 I do like the udenuki-ana. https://www.bonhams.com/auction/22472/lot/99/a-nobuie-tsuba-edo-period-17th-century/ Edited May 8 by Spartancrest MORE LINKS 1 Quote
