Edward Mahle replied to EdWolf's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
So many stunning swords in this thread. This one is all together a style I haven’t had the privilege of viewing yet.. What a stunning creation. Cheers Edward -
Not really a beginner question… how did they figure out it was a shrine sword? Good question considering no info on how that came about was with this post. I don’t want to search endlessly for something I had a small curiosity about. I like human interaction my search engine is far less engaging than someone responding to my question don’t you think?

Thanks guys for the input, something I’ve been researching for a few weeks now. Haven’t really found any info on the subject. I like the article about the hamon, that was interesting. For whatever reason I would’ve thought different folding techniques would bring different characteristics to the sword.

Do different Hada’s have anything to offer against one another? Other than appearance. Did some smiths think one style of Hada had greater strength, flexibility things like that? Edward T

Hey thanks Jean but I’m looking for some really high quality fittings.

Hey guys who’s a good person to send my nihonto to for new fittings and everything?

Wow the shape of this blade is stunning. At that price I can't believe this is still for sale. Massive Tachi, in polish with a gorgeous Harmon line & shape. It definitely checks a lot of boxes for my collection. Good luck with your sale. If it's still up for grabs by the end of the month I'll send you a message. Maybe we can figure something out with this one.

Loving all the feed back you guys. Well by the sounds of it I'll be happy with his work. Definitely gonna reach out and set something up with Moses. So far I really like what I see. The fact that there's no problems going through shinsa is really all I needed to know. Thanks again you guys A++. -

@MarcoUdin wait time doesn't bother me, seems to be common to have some wait time for this kind of thing. Thank you for the reply. I think I'd feel more comfortable with a traditionally trained togishi. -

Collecting with vision issues
Edward Mahle replied to dschumann's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
@dschumann so sorry to hear of your condition. On a positive note, I do believe Nihonto have a lot to offer in the touch department. With the white inspection gloves one could get satisfaction just from the feel of a Nihonto in hand.
