Hello, Since the beginning of 2026, https://nihontoclub.com/view/smiths isnt working anymore. It says access denied. Anyone know why ? It was so helpful PS : didnt know where to post this sorry if its not the right section

Anyone who has that book please PM

Showing my case built with a friend, then I added every other element. All from cheap chinese seller (except the stones) : the leds, the handle to open the display case, the stands, the wide white satin sheet, the hygrometer and anti humidity silk bags.

Thank you for contributing ! Awesome flawless blade. Interesting !

The Kajiyama Yasutoku tanto is a fake one

Yes but might be gimei (fake/copied signature) During World War II, many soldiers used their "family blade" (older than WWII blade) to go to war with gunto mounts or civilian mounts. But the tachi koshirae of you is not a none of any gunto mount. So it just might be a blade that was preserved with a meiji tachi koshirae

Signed Suishinshi Masatsugu, can you show full nakago (tang) shape ?

Hello Julian, This looks like a nice tachi koshirae Maybe you can show us more ?

Interesting thanks Hope it wasn't to expensive when you add buyer's premium, shipping fees, and probably custom fees ? + Polishing... Not sure if its really worth but I hope youll enjoy when it comes back btw that menuki looks really nice

Marcin you won the auction ? Congrats its the first time I see that mei but Emura had plenty so I think its hard to know if he made it himself. Also, its the first time I see an Emura blade with a bo-hi Will you get it polished ?
