    Could this be an island sword as discussed in our military sword section of the forum?

    The listing itself was free, but the reserve is what cost me the $40....at least i still have my yari. I remodelled the "shirasaya" so it is not so fat anymore, also.

    It cost me $40 to list this, had one bid that was not even close to my costs or the reserve....lose money, as the Hawaiian saying goes.

    My question has been answered, i can die in peace (someday not soon I hope)!

    English is a bit slippery, but i assure you, if i use the term, i know exactly what i mean as a blade smith who polishes his own work. How many here pontificating on polishing actually do so?
  9. SAS
    I would, he has no business at all messing with artifacts and swords.

    Lowell, send me a PM if you want to discuss this further.

    I recommend contacting a polisher for a quote on a touch up polish; the burnished area has been scratched on the shinogi ji. The papers look like the sales document and a copy of the former police registration.

    All i ever find around here is garbage

    Steam. After you clean it out, redo the rice glue, keep it out of where the nakago goes, and fit the nakago while the halves are clamped, then remove the nakago and clean it of rice.

    Seems like a reasonable buy, nice hamon esp. by the kissaki.

    Seems older than Shinto to me as well.

    It would be helpful to see photos of the sword in question to be able to offer an opinion.

    Your blade would look awesome in polish, cool shape.

    Let us hope it is not swallowed by a giant sea monster or fall off the edge!

    Hi Mark, welcome!

    I have a wakizashi with a leather combat cover; it is over at the shop so can't get measurements or photos right now.
  24. SAS
    If the leather cover will not slide off the handle, removing the stitching would allow removal, and could be restitched later.

    Shiro Kunimitsu are..

    SAS replied to BIG's topic in Nihonto

    Probably a translation thing, I think he means maintenance/cleaning/oiling. website works for me, kind of pricey.
