yes i kwew it, but the problem is the first day that comes i didnt see this spots so dark, and this morning i appreciate like if been darkest during 12 hours it can be posible, i looked a lot yesterday and today but im pretty shure the marks are darker than yesterday, thanks!

i want to know the maker, i recived today and really liked very vell donne forge, muromachi era in my opinion, can you tell me something about the maker? i cant read kanji, and your opinion abouthis price? very apreciated i get it all clear but when i clean a little bit, next day the little inperfections see more dark like oxid old, not dangerous but you can see it more black in the little inperfections, otherwise i like a lot, can i clean this to make it clear again? thanks in advice.

Good point stone lets maybe someone can explain us, finally i buyed shoten one 76 dollars in ebay auction i think a good price, i have all the items ready to design my sword i will show you no doubt stone, regards!

YES i like dragons but shoten style like me too, seems good quality boght, still in doubts... thanks stone

THANK you very much guys, about the menukis any idea?

I buyed in aoijapan this fuchikashira shoten but i want to know the history after that, the man in a dragon and the man at horse seems a pair at least sell like that i supose some Japanese tale, thanks. The size is 3,72 and 3,2, the man in shop sais me that feats in katana but seem more wakisashi size? The tsuka gonna be made new so no problem then? About the menukis? Soten or dragons better quality? Price no pay?

Thanks rokujuro!

Sure thanks guys

200 dollars aprox all

Of course i can distinguish a 1000 dolars koshirae and of course i liked but i like all for what is it

Yes yes vajo i dont gona put a 600 dollars tsuba on it is like make a rat road, rusty but cool

Exatly vajo is what i refer, not necesary to have masterpieces and better and better like a competition, with an unlimeted money of course i will expend a lot of money in a excepcional katana but sure i like to have other that seems have more history than a exposition katanas i love the 2ww zippos with soldiers badges, etc cause y can see history there, mind pieces are like new but i cant see a feeling an history, in this tsuka i can imagine the hand of the samurai touching it, feeling it, etc

I love all the things on Japan except food really i got many expectations but in spain the food is one million times better. Yes brian is what i ask, in this forum there are many low quality fobia i think, for me is same important each pieces cause there are mounting on weapons samurai, of course any love to have a very famous sword but for me any samurai is more or less important, by the fact of the era and the japanesse history, maybe a better history are back of a bad grade piece than a medium or higher piece, of course are more beautiful but i apreciated sometimes more a rusty bike than a gold palace dont know if i explain myself

Hi i like to know some info of the mei and period of this koshirae founded in kioto in a little shop, im gonna try to fit in one katana, all inn. Soten rigth? Maybe kanzan and jittoku story?

Sorry but im newbie can you splain me more about this schools, etc?

VEry nice and interested explanations, i disnt know why but i liked cause this i bought it, what is a reasonable price for it? Im planing to make a koshirae of my katana arigatou minna

Hi! I bought this tsuba a weeks ago on ebay 117$ size 8cm, iron with gold inlais period, school? Wants your throuts about it? Thanks!

Thanks for the advice dean!

THANks again brian idk if i will return in sunday or monday at tokio i will try then, regards

Thanks for a clear explanation brian, so in your opinion is better that i bought some in ebay, here etc than make a buy in Japan for the fact to buy something japanesse in Japan. Its true that in internet you can get better prices with everything at this times, but i really want to buy something here not pay double of course maybe a litthe more for the fact to be in Japan its posible? Ali is the best shop to find something? Thank you brian

Sorry but seems me redicoulus argument, i can afford arround 350 dollars not double i can pay 100 but i want something better with this stupid argument is like said i want to buy a corvette, no better buy a ferrari, no i dont habe enought, then buy a ford fiesta ????

I cant spend 700 dolars in fuchi and kashira...

Some awesome shop in Japan to recomend me?

Thanks stephen, price ok in your opinion? Good quality? Is for make my own koshirae in future more opinions are wellcome
