Gentlemen hoping to see you in tampa will be bringing gems of mine KOTO BIZEN 32 inch tachi kataochi gunome sansaku boshi nerikawa tsuba , kagemitsu signed o tanto yasumitsu wakizashi hosokawa family solid gold fitting, morimitsu tanto koichimonji katana ,bizen tachi with red bodycutting test daimyo mon battlefieldkoshirae,SOSHU,KATANA YAMAMOTO family full koshirae late soshu katana in shirasaya also other swords and beautiful high end fittings L.Kanarek MD

enbun kanemitsus boshi was his famos flame tip as opposed to kanemitsus early work which was more kagmitsu like

I read wit interest the upcoming baltimore show for me its a hop skip and jump . 2 things were a bit questionable, about 1 month after san francisco i believe is a bit too soon, the other that was real toublesome was the cost of a table $250.00 which i feel is quite exhorbitant any one out there agree ? L.Kanarek MD

yhanks thanks mark from his photos and description this is probably his work the kanji is cut very precisely and not deep and very uniform does not look atall like a Japanese signed it L.Kanarek MD

hello folks saw an interesting tanto the other day signed yasu tomo dated heisei 4 has anyone ever heard of him any advice would be appreciated L.Kanarek MD

shimada yoshisuke hamon had a peculuar shape in the tanis (valley) it reverted to suguha he is well known for this type work also his boshi was usually different on both sides his nakago was slightly rounded on one side LKanarekMD

nagamitsu-kataochi gunome slanted toward nakago san saku boshi elegant hada this blade no way L.Kanarek MD

Bo utsuri oei bizen noted for bo straight utsuri with rather flamboyant hamons yasumitsu and other san mitsus L.Kanarek MD

addendum the auction was a joke LKanarek

deep south dont listen to all the naysayers they are all jealous nice sword beautiful fittings worthy of polish and then papers a real nice find bravo LKMD

Marzio nice blade BUT as mentioned cant see boshi this would be a big no no at 2800 euros or dollars speak to togishi to confirm LKMD

kiri cut tip not uncommon no visible yasurime rare would loke to see area under the habaki to rule out a weld pretty blade needs close investigation the chinese collected nihonto at the end of the war and cut off all the nakagos and planned to use them as police sabers in this sword we have a nice blade with an unusual nakago hmmmmmmmm makes one think sww if you can get b etter bictures of nakago under habaki LKMD
