A beauty indeed Michael

Lewis, Oli, it was a fantastic weekend. I hope you guys had a good time. Meeting wonderful people like you guys is more than half of the fun.

Looking forward to it Alex!

Dear fellow sword enthusiasts, We would like to let you know that the Dutch Token Society will be present at the Japan Art Fair in Utrecht this weekend.

Kind regards, On behalf of the Dutch Token Society, Leen van Ochten Chairman

Good to see you here again! A warm welcome back!

Thanks a lot!

Could someone please help me translating this total inscription on the opposite side of a Hisakatsu tanto? Thanks in advance.

Nice naval tanto, in really good condition with samegawa sheath for € 800,-

Thanks looks like it is the same blade

Can someone help me with a translation of this mei and possible information on the smith. It’s a Nagamaki with a 75cm nagasa. thanks in advance

It has been a while I thought I'd share this remarkable tanto with you guys,

Zoheito, non traditional, mass produced blade (like the type 95) in good quality type 98 (suya shoten) mountings. Also mentioned on ohmura study net

As secretary of the dutch token society i have acces to these books. So i can deliver. If anyone else is interested. Drop me a pb. Perhaps even with an interesting discount if you buy more than one.

I sent you a pm

I found myself a blade by Akiyoshi which didn’t surface on this forum before (I believe). It has quite an active Hamon, lots of activity, clusters of nie, lots to study though taking good pictures is a challenge. The numbering might be interesting for @Bruce Pennington.
