Thanks for the translation! The saya isn't original and I don't have a handle either, anyone you guys recommend to make a shirasaya

Hey everyone I just obtained two nihonto wakizashis one is signed can anyone translate it? Also anyone know where I can get new shirasayas made for them? I appreciate it! I'll get some more pictures soon! Thanks Tim

Thank you for the info much appreciated!

The width does look almost the same from base to tip, I'm kinda going back and forth on what I should get, I have the new sword 3 reserved http://www.ksky.ne.jp/~sumie99/ns3.html but I'm leaning between that one or http://www.ksky.ne.jp/~sumie99/ns5.html What do you guys think of the two?

Hey everyone I'm looking at buying this piece, what do you guys think? Just beginning to learn and appreciate any insight or observations thanks! http://www.ksky.ne.jp/~sumie99/ns5.html

I compared the signature to what it should look like and looks a little different does the style match Heianjo Nagayoshi's work or does it look like someone trying to pass off his work as someone elses?

what do you guys think about the authenticity I just emailed these pics into an appraiser and he said they looked fake did I get jipped here?

Some other pics of the sword please let me know if you have any more information thanks!

Just took some let me know what you think

Don't really know hoping someone could point me on in the right direction, the books to check out at the library etc.

Hey everyone found these forums after I bought my first samurai sword, I attached the photos below. Please let me know what you think appreciate any history or feedback on what I've gotten myself into. Thanks Tim

haha thanks for the insight on that one
