    I actually can easily think of a couple, they are just not realistic or plausible 🤐 However, I was thinking what would be worse. A open blister with active rust or a repair similar to this? I'm not sure if this type of welding can actually effectively remedy those flaws but just as a hypothetical. I think this would be preferred though not so visually pleasing. They used to forge and insert specific hada to repair certain flaws but this is an entirely different process.

    So presumably this was after papering. I'm not sure if this would paper as is? What was someone thinking

    Hi all, The following blade on Aoi has some weird things above the hamachi. Is this some kind of repair work done by a smith? Also it just looks bad but the blade has Tokubetsu hozon (could be done after though). If its a repair its not mentioned which would be bad manners. Den Enju

    Reading I went like huh 🧐 Regarding metalworking, though I haven't checked it in a bit, Ford's forum (if I recall correctly), is a good place. edit: seems it has gone AWOL..

    I think that's it. Thank you!

    The following is something I vaguely recall and incase I'm misremembering, no offense😙 Wasn't there 'a' Kiyomitsu that was know for creating gimei swords? Somewhat unrelated as this one is signed as such. I can't remember where exactly I got it from it where I read something regarding this. To op, more pictures please! Is it in polish? If so the costs for shinsa aren't too high.

    Haha I'm the land of polisher waiting lists it might be a flick of the eye but wow. A lot happens in 7 years.

    Apologies if mentioned above, I skimmed through. I have a post for an item that was shaped like monk Jizu in which the shakujo is briefly mentioned. Regarding the sound the staff makes.

    Having your daughter for one, but next to that something (presumably less than but still), so valuable I'm my car would make me really uneasy. Couldn't the good man simple got some anxiety induced amnesia when he was given the form? 📃🙈 🚗 💶😞

    Looked like a great piece with nice patina. Someone should be happy

    Not speaking out of experience with this craftsman but, especially now with something like covid still lingering, communication is really important. With costly ramifications should something happen to a small craft/business. While understandable it would really bother me on a daily basis if I did not receive a reply for 2 months even if the financial impact were small.

    Its news for me too! Queued

    Looks like someone got lucky! Beautiful tsuba.

    Something similar would be httrack, also available via terminal (homebrew). Super handy. Unfortunately I assumed that the site would stay up.

    That is so curious. I visited the day before and never thought it could be my last.

    Hi everyone, Checking Aoi auctions I came across this yari which has a shirasaya with some kind of closing mechanism. First time I've seen this. Anyone with more information on this type of thing? Video https://www.aoijapan.com/katakama-yarionomichi-ju-sonokawani-kunimasa/

    Seems to be a rather large gamble. Maybe if one were in the position to see it in person it would feel different to me.

    I see the waves as well as stylized elephants, I'm just slightly partial to the latter 🙃 Lovely tsuba either way!
  19. Fuuten
    Hi Okan, Great to see you haven't given up on the lot! Any chance of seeing a close up on the elephants?🤔🤞
  20. Fuuten
    Seems like a decent deal when compared to the original auction starting price. Seeing my previous post it's good to confirm my original thoughts on the tsuba, the wrap however is still very pleasing to my eyes ☺️ Is there a new auction link?
  21. Fuuten
    The Owari tsuba on the right already looks really good. Did you already do some basic cleaning to that one? Super neat score👍
  22. Fuuten
    This was oddly not listed in some of my books on tsuba and not easily answered via google. Octagon is supposedly 'Hachikakukei' in Japanese so perhaps Hachikakukei gata is the or a fitting description for it😶

    As of last year Paypal got super bad as well. I've been looking for an alternative for a while now. Google pay appeared to be decent but then I found out they do not support linking bank accounts for the Netherlands (yet). If anyone knows of a good alternative that works like Paypal used to work, kindly let me know because I've had it up to here ^ with that company. Also their customer service is terrible as of mid '21. That's my experience, for what it's worth.

    Kill Bill 2 was on tv not two days ago here! Didn't he operate out of a sushi bar or something like that in the movie? (I happened to miss the first half).
  25. Fuuten
    I wholeheartedly agree, those are indeed great (saved them). Thanks for sharing.
