Christian Posted 16 hours ago Report Posted 16 hours ago Hi there, I have a sword in my collection that could be Ko-Bizen but is not papered. I am always a little sceptical about it because of the shallow sori and the weight proportions but at the end it is a good blade. It has a interesting sayagaki so maybe one can help me with the translation. Thank you Christian Quote
