I haven't heard back from him since I sent him the link, Im planning on calling him tonight.

Cheers Guys :D Thanks for your comments. I did suspect that the swords were Chinese made though receiving your comments dose confirm with my mate that he should look at having a custom made blade, made by one of the reputable commercial dealers on this forum. Thank god for this forum it does make things easier, don't you agree Cheers James

Hi All :D A mate of mine has found a straight blade on ebay link below, dose anyone know of this seller or can comment on the swords he is selling. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... :IT&ih=009 The thing is he is wanting a custom made blade with 0 sori (straight blade) and his own horimono design with habaki and shirasaya. Do you know a sword smith who may be able to make this blade? Cheers Pilsy James

Do you think by polishing to remove the chip you might loose the temper

Hi all, I am about to import a Bizen Wakizashi into Australia. If anyone can give me any advise on importing into Australia I would love to hear from you :D

I'm looking at this sword for educational purposes. What are your thoughts, do you think it could take a full polish, what would you pay could the chip be repaired? asking $475 US I do have more images that I can email Cheers, Pilsy

I'm new to this message board so here is my first posting. I fall victim to this eBay seller who asured me the sword was original. Since I purchased the item I found it is a China fake Here is the link to the fake sword I bought. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... &rd=1&rd=1
