    I hope that you and your family managed with Helene and the aftermath of that event. There is a sword show in Orlando. You could go there, see many swords and come home with the sword. No shipping, no waiting and you will have a lot of choice. Many members of NMB will be at the show. Between now and then you will have an opportunity to learn more about swords.

    Great work Martin! I like the koshirae very much and agree with Curran's feelings about the tsuka wrap.

    Thank you Marcus! Many of us supported Ford and encouraged his work. He still brings joy to me and to many others who have his work. When I go into my den, I always look at the tsuba Ford made and the one he restored. One of our sword club members studied with Ford and learned to make excellent tsuba and to restore tsuba. Rest in peace, Ford. Your students will carry on your methods and dedication.

    Wait for next August and go to the show in San Francisco. Take your blades to the show.

    Welcome to the forum. Post requests for information to one sword. After the discussion slows post a second sword.

    I often found that if you set a tsuka on a tsuba you get a different view and feeling.

    I am looking for a rather plain copper kozuka with or without the kogatana. The fittings are below and show the colour that I need.

    Making a proper Saya is difficult process. John Terado or Brian Tschernaga both in the USA di e excellent work.

    It looks like something that a person who sells would put in his/her window.

    Hi Ron I do not think that the f/k was made by either Omori or Mito smiths.

    Yes! Buy books! First sword and first sword book were bought in 1976. Every year I buy more books. In 2023 I bought 5 or 6. I look forward to buying more in 2024.

    Ko uda Smith list.

    b.hennick replied to Paz's topic in Nihonto

    Norishige was not a Ko Uda smith. He was a Soshu smith who lived in Etchu.

    I think that the resolution of the electron microscope will be too high for you to get much relevant information. The most that I use is about 40X magnification and this is just to look at small areas of interest.

    Thanks, Peter! I passed the essence of the article on to several friends who practice Tai Chi as it fits so well.

    Thank you Bob for providing this wonderful thread. I look forward to seeing your new acquisitions. This thread needs to be pinned as it is a wonderful resource. George and Ford have made great contributions to the thread. The pieces that you have shared with us set a high level for collectors to reach for.
