    @Michael 67 yeah I could tell it was a high quality blade right away just from it's shape. Truly beautiful, a pleasure just to see pictures of. It's just so strange how the rating system works for the WW2 blades. I commented just because I generally don't understand it. Would love feed back on a perfect example right in front of us. Cheers Edward

    Oh. Was just confused, I tried to sell a sword to Matt and I was told by Matt himself because the smith was only rated 1 million yen it wasn't worth much. It also wasn't a shrine sword like this one though. I think the shape and length of this one is much more appealing. Mine did have a much more extravagant hamon.

    @matthewbrice correct me if I'm wrong please,he's rated 1.8 million?
  4. Edward Mahle

    Wow that's a steal of a deal my friend. I think this would make a perfect starter blade.

    Hello NMB members. Another rainy day here in New England, so stuck inside doing some Nihonto research. Not able to find to much info on the Horii school. Wondering if any members have any info on the matter. Picture just for pleasure 😜.

    For 699$ you made out really good.

    I feel you'll have better luck selling it with some more pictures. Edward

    Just jealousy, simple as that. Edward

    Just started reading this one, Love it so far.

    The condition of @DickH's blade you can grind that one haha just joking. That blade is not even remotely repairable. I guess if you were gonna try some at home polishing have the blade confirmed to be dead by a trained eye. At that point it's gone anyways so do what you want with it. The damage that can be done to a ancient piece of art by a amateur polisher is very underrated.

    Thank you guys for answering my question, I always really appreciate it. @cju777 thank you for sharing that article that was perfect, just what I needed :).

    How does one determine if a blade is a Tachi or a Katana without a signature? Just by length and over all shape, sorry if this is a stupid question.

    The 16th photo looks like someone put a good amount of heat to it.

    I know I've been following his ebay page for along time now. From what I've seen, always has really nice Nihonto's with decent price tags.
  20. Edward Mahle
    @Yama Arashi you should definitely try Facebook. I think you'll have alittle better luck on the Facebook Nihonto page.

    Definitely a older blade not WW2, may have been shortened at some point. Seems like a good quality set from what I can see in pictures. Suguha hamon is a very sought after hamon.

    @vajo I agree, I'm sure slight differences from stamp to stamp is excepted. I'm sure it's not a 100% perfect process every time. But... I'm also a child in this realm so haha.
  23. Edward Mahle
    @Stephen what a shame right, really wanted to see the blade. Judging from the saya I bet it wasn't in all that bad of condition.
  24. Edward Mahle
    Thank you.
