Hey guys,

 

I have another affordable tanto up for grabs. This tanto has the same shobu-zukuri suguta as the Jumyo tanto I sold yesterday.

 

Mei: Okisata Nyudo Kotetsu

 

Nagasa: 26.5 cm

 

Overall: 37 cm

 

This tanto comes with a old saya and wooden habaki.

 

I'm asking $600 USD shipped. PayPal payment preferred.

Are you doubting my Juyo Kotetsu, Stephen?

I thought it was Juyo Bunkazai Travis

Jean, you have it all wrong - Travis was getting rid of his mediocre Juyo Kotetsu to make room for the Juyo Bunzaki one

 

he's one of these guys

Juyo Kotetsu, Juyo Bunkazi. Only the best! Haha.

 

In all seriousness though. If you look past the mei and the polish, there's a decent little tanto under there. Flawless with a very attractive suguta. Would look great after restoration with a new shira-saya and habaki.

 

I was contemplating getting this one restored but I just blew all my nihonto money on a daisho. Now this one needs a new home.
