Hello John, could you send me pics of the Jumyo katana? I am looking for a Jumyo katana for my collection. Warm Regards, Jesse

Perfect, what an awesome bunch of replies. Thanks for giving me a good laugh today. Regards, Jesse

Has anyone had any interactions with this seller. He currently has the following 'WWII Japanese sword - ULTRA RARE Sakabato reverse edge blade MUSEUM PIECE' for sale. This one time low offer of $1,0000,000 so it could be $1,000,000 or $10,000,000 not quite sure but he is willing to deliver it anywhere in the world after the funds clear. And he does have 100% positive feedback, so there is that. Just wondering if anyone has stumbled upon something so rare as this? Warm Regards, Jesse

Sean, you have a beautiful sword and your price is great and under normal conditions I, or someone else, would have purchased it by now. For me, the fact that the US economy is in such a poor state and getting worse, it makes me feel very uneasy parting with any funds at this time. And I believe it to be the primary reason why it is taking many folks so long to sell swords and other items that are not considered essential. Depending on what happens during the rest of 2024 will either ease many folks' mind or they will continue to 'batten down the hatches' and whether this financial storm. Just wanted you to know that it definitely is not you or your swords fault for not selling quickly. Warm Regards, Jesse

Matt, this blade and the other one you currently have listed (from the Plimpton Collection) are 2 of the nicest swords that I have seen you post for sale. If I didn't have to put all of my spare money into my wife's mouth now I would buy one of them. These should sell quickly. Warm Regards, Jesse

I concur with Steve above. Warm Regards, Jesse

Mark, I endorse what Ray said above. Be patient and research what you have. Warm Regards, Jesse

I agree with Grey and NewB. Getting a sword and rushing to polish it 'can' be a waste of money and time. Steer the individuals to books and have them dive into prior articles and posts on this forum is a better education for all sword enthusiasts. It saddens me that the current culture is far too quick to anger and angsts and I wish people would be a little more diplomatic. Just my 2 cents. Warm Regards, Jesse

Jussi, I just love to read your posts. Your research always provides great data for me and the forum readers. Thanks for sharing with us your diligent research. Warm Regards, Jesse

Beautiful hamon. I like it. Jesse

Ray, you certainly deal in very fine swords. I just wish (as I'm sure everyone would) I had the funds to purchase some. Warm Regards, Jesse

Bert, I see your using the 'E-Swords' website. I have purchased a couple of blades from them and have always been satisfied. Their descriptions of the product were always accurate. Warm Regards,

Ed, I have come across those you mention above and while they are unique and beautiful I don't view them in the same lense that I do with Nihonto articles. I try to do my due diligence and only buy them from Japan or from someone I already have a relationship with. With my advancing age I am thinking of selling my Yanone collection and some of my swords and only keeping a few select items but I keep waffling on pulling the trigger. Warm Regards,

Bruce, thanks for the tag. Warm Regards,

A very nice looking blade and koshirae and I love that compose embedded in the handle. I have one that has a looking glass in the handle, made in the late 1800 - very early 1900s. Warm Regards,
