thats a good solid area to work with in. im sure you will get serious attention

Price ranges??

Could ne akao ito school?? Sign just the same but is considered separate from akao by some books

there was a stunning tanto for sale here not long ago. I STUPIDLY didnt have the funds on hand to snatch it up. some very very lucky person has a stunning tanto for a steal . wont make that mistake again.

i dont remember it being that hard to import in the europe? has something changed?

the hamon isnt your typical style for kojima kanemich, thats raising my eyebrow, also the saya paint warrents a closer look at, i would be concerned about THE FRESHNESS compared to the frail ito. heres what kojima kanemichi should look like, sorry for the poor pics, they had to be dragged out of a oooooold usb

so very fantasy pricing tho

are the type 3s with rjt smiths popular?? got one i want to sell?

Hi guys, selling a fantastic tosa mychin tsuba of the musahino theme. a much loved them of mine and Currans. this piece was made by the 2nd master TOSA KUI JU MYOCHIN KINO TOSHIO. a very long lived and productive smith whom is reported to have studied directly under 4th gen Akasaka Tadatoki. this work is bold and strong, the iron has a very tight grain and colour is strong and glossy just like akasaka iron. dates approx 1750s and is almost ubu with a very clear mei. the hitsu ana are filled with and finished just like papered 4th gen tadatoki so theres a solid link. this is a serious tsuba to be considered, so please no tyre kickers Price $650 USD firm regards H

koshirae total length 593mm shirasaya 533m nagasa 341mm kasane at habaki 5mm and narrowing to 4mm towards the kissaki mihaba at habaki 41mm and gently tappers to 38mm overall blade is 460mm typical sakizori on hirazukuri construction for the time. more pics just ask

Not a horrible blade for the price if you know the paperwork is rubbish
