I have heard that the chairman of theNBTHK has resigned under Govt. pressure, and that all Juyo blades from the last 20 years will have to be resubmitted. Can anyone confirm or deny this. Also, if true what is the whole story David Flynn

This is why they also considering banning swords in New South Wales

Milt, consciousness is all in the mind!!! :lol: Dave

Thanks Ricky, it was a pleasure meeting you as well. We saw how busy you were. One more comment, I saw a bloke with three swords for sale that had been pinked. They had showa stamps on them and I was suprised that they were allowed to be submitted. Dave

Hi, went to show and shinsa from Australia. Submitted a good Gendai signed Kanestune which passed with a relatively high point score. A mate from Australia also came with me and submitted four swords and a koshirae. Two swords and the Koshirae passed ( he bought the koshirae at the show ). Although the show was very small I thought there were more bargains there than in SF which we also attended. We were collecting our swords When they had just run out of Pink slips and had to use white. Overall a pleasing experience for both of us. Dave :D

Hi, would anyone have any info on a Gendai smith Kanetsune. The sword I have is signed: Noshu Ju Nin Nishi Mura Kanetsune Kitau Kore. The only listing I could find was in Hawleys which says: Kanetsune 1926. Thanks David
