Hi there, Could anyone from UK recommned any courier service to safely send a wakizashi to Poland from UK? Are there any known problems at the borders etc? Please advise as I need to send one soon and looking for any recommnedation. Lukas

Hi all, There are few people interested and I’ll be looking to make some more after new year (I’ll be in touch when). If anyone else would be interested please PM me and will add add to the current ones. thanks, Lukas

The only thing I didnt make clear is that it is £75 for either of the stand not both - but I'm sure I would be able do soemthing about the price when both (or more) are bought at the same time. Sorry for any confusion. Lukas

Hi All, I have been searching for specific stand that is clear and not lookign cheap and couldn't find anything to my liking ( or in the UK). Decided to produce these myself. I was lookign for something to hold my wakizashi's and ideally wanted to make something not as wide as regular katanakake. I've been able to create 2 prototypes at work. Would anyone be interested? Please let em know via PM and once enough people will be interested would look to have some made at the beginnign of january 2023. I am also open to all suggestions making it a better product. Stands are made out of 8mm clear acrylic. Wakizashi Stand: Base Lenght: 30cm Base With: 8,5cm stand Height: 32cm Widht Between Holders: 25cm Katana Stand: Base Lenght: 38cm Base With: 8,5cm stand Height: 32cm Widht Between Holders: 32cm Price £75 (+£8 Next Day Delivery within UK). Thanks, Lukas

Thank you Ray.

Hi All, Could anyone point me to the right person who can produce habaki for wakizashi in UK,please? Along with contact details? Thanks, Lukas

great, thanks! Lukas

thanks Dave. The project hasn't been touched yet, wrapping etc is as it was and abviously the mountd are not best - it is just loosely put together for storage purposes, pretty much only interested in blade side of that all rather than anything else,which most likely will be replaced. Lukas

Hi there, Few years back I have bought this bargain hunt but only now starting to get it 'fixed' and put it nicely together...it needs some work, especially needs to have proper habaki done (the one attached is temporaty and doesn't fit well) and also seppa's and general TLC. I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me the value of this wakizashi? i am just curious so appreciate if anyone could help. thanks, Lukas

Thank you all. If anyone feels llike adding anything please feel free to do so

are these of any help?

I was just going through all my books and possibly that check out. that's quite interesting. What do you think about hamon? thanks Lukas

Hi guys, Could anyone help with placing that wakizashi into right period? I was thinking shinto but perhaps anyone else would have different opinion? thanks, Lukas

His websute is down nit if you have a contact please pm me. Thanks Lukas.

Hi there, I need to have habaki made. Is the anyone in UK rcemmonded? Thanks, Lukas

Not sure but would seem like it was done recently-ish and didnt have chance to patinate yet.

I visited last year Japanese Sword Museum in Shibuya so would recommend it, Also there are tons nice books for sale in Japanese and even few in english.

well, don't think i'll ever will with this one though my appraisal is that it's not worth it

Stephen, unfortunately some 'brave' soul at soime point in time tried to 'clean' the nakago so apart from the shape all other possibly helpful information helping me identifying the sword has now gone. Lukas

Hi John, I understand exactly why would you want to polish the blade, it is a quite exciting journey bringing something to live and even if i think Grey is right that mumei blades are not worth all that then other side of me say go for it I did the same thing actually! I went for it and got the blades in good hands to be polished only because i have seen something in that blade that was telling me it would pay off + the fact the i bought the blade super cheap as someone though it was a junk. It was a gamble but i am happy with all that journey and it gave me a lot more that just nice blade on the rack - and after polish bladees shows quite a lot of characteristics of Hizen Tadayoshi blades...will never know for sure though but who knows Have a look on the photos before and after and maybe that will help make your mind up Lukas Before: After:
