Guest Rayhan Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Hi ladies and gentlemen Just wanted to share a post on the delivery of a new Gassan Sadatoshi (November 2018 reg) and say a big thank you to Paul Martin for helping to make this a reality. The sword is beautiful and I am completely ecstatic! Paul Martin was, as always, great to work with in order to make this happen. Pictures: 26 Quote

PNSSHOGUN Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Saw this on Paul Martins page, there were no pictures of the sword so doubly pleased to find out you are the lucky owner. Can we get some more pictures of that Ayasugi? Quote
Greg F Posted January 24, 2019 Report Posted January 24, 2019 Ray you are going to have a lot of enjoyment with that hada to look at. Very nice blade. Congrats mate. Greg 1 Quote
grnamin Posted January 24, 2019 Report Posted January 24, 2019 I saw this on Paul Martin's Instagram. Thank you for posting it here and congratulations. Beautiful! Curious question as I'm unable to read the Kanji... Does the mei note that the sword was made for you? Quote
Guest Rayhan Posted January 24, 2019 Report Posted January 24, 2019 The mei says the swords name, Ryu no Yume, there is no mention of me I will put up more shots when i meet Paul for delivery, few weeks from now Quote
w.y.chan Posted January 28, 2019 Report Posted January 28, 2019 A perfectly forged sword, and in the UK too Quote

DaveT Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Newbie question, has this anything to do with Enomoto Sadayoshi? Quote
Ray Singer Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Enomoto Sadayoshi was a student of the grandfather of Sadatoshi, Gassan Sadakatsu. He received the smith name of Sadakatsu's grandfather (the school founder) and became the Osaka Gassan school's nidai 貞吉. 3 Quote
