Takezo Posted May 28 Report Posted May 28 (edited) Looking for insight into this dealer. Trustworthy? I have seen them mentioned several times across the forum, mainly in reference, but has anyone bought from them or can anyone vouch for them? https://www.kusanaginosya.com Edited May 28 by Sukaira Quote
eternal_newbie Posted May 28 Report Posted May 28 I've noticed a few interesting blades from them, but at the time, every one that I looked at had a big red warning saying "It's currently not possible to ship this overseas", which may be why they don't have much of a profile outside Japan. They do seem to have some pretty high-end stuff - several Juyo, including some Awataguchi and Ko-Bizen. Quote
Takezo Posted May 28 Author Report Posted May 28 Definitely. It is also a bit hard to grasp the current state of some of the items from the photos, in terms of polish, damage etc. 1 Quote
eternal_newbie Posted May 28 Report Posted May 28 Yes, the legibility of their photography varies wildly from listing to listing. On some of them you can barely make out more than the outline of the nioiguchi, and on others you can see tiny hataraki and ko-nie in the steel. Quote
