Yes, and "Blind Fury" with Rutger Hauer.

I purchased this as a utilitarian piece. Just curious about its possible lineage. It won't be displayed next to my Hozon papered Yasukuni-to Gendaitos.

$2100 including post, the koshirae was a big point for me. Blade in excellent polish, and no nicks or bends. Seen the higher quality ones at e-swords Japan run 3000-4000+. Indiana laws are good on sword canes, excluding state and federal property, Good to have with the Mall riots now becoming a common nuisance. Gonna carry this one, so high collection value was not a major concern. I was looking for a more utilitarian piece.

Nope didn't break the bank. Got a deal way below offered price. Actually going to use it as intended in my retirement. Thanks for the responses.

Just added to my collection. Translation assistance, and opinions? Thank you for any input.

Thank you very much!

Translation help, please. Domo

Thank you my friend! It is a Hozon papered piece that now resides with me.

Help me ID this, please. Yasukuni Katana.

Homage inscription, thank you for your assistance.

Thank you for your help! Most appreciated.

I thought it was a Showa piece also. Owner could'nt remove the handle to see if there were any inscriptions.

Your help would be appreciated. Tanto, I have no idea how old this is, or what is says. Added this to my collection on a hunch there was more to it. Thank you!

Makes sense. Gift or presentation inscription. Thank you.

Interesting, so it was custom made to order blade for an individual? Thank you very much!
