You will always remember that feeling while driving back home!

Nan-BOOOOO!!!!! from the Netherlands!

Very beautiful Jean Do you remember how long it took to forge the blade? Would you like to try a mini Katana? Of course I don't know the process very much but maybe you can smelt a tsuba and can make 2-3 mini katana out of them?
-
It's special ordered if I understood correctly. From whom I have no idea. You can watch the full video here, mini katana is at the end.

An old book I read depicted Tsuba as " Samurai's only jewellery that he could show"

I hate snakes.

Was just watching a sword show on NHK and this came up. Mini Katana! What she told is that this was made in the traditional way, tamahagane, real hamon, fittings and everything...Would you collect these?
-
Looks something in between I have no experience with these but want to learn the answer as well.
-
Not so scary but great work for sure. Check out the detail on how light reflects from the lantern.

Noah, if you have the budget and living in the states, why don't you buy a blade in polish from a member in the board?

Makes me happy seeing Bruce interested in these...Better late than never

Dear Bruce, it's called udenuki-no-ana. You can find many examples if you google it.

This is a wakizashi not katana. That saya is for a katana not for this wakizashi. -
Yes and also the greyish veins around it

I live like 600meters to Rijksmuseum so scared

From western collectors point of view.."True Daisho" is known as matching smiths, matching koshirae & fittings..For me, matching koshiae & fittings ordered for 2 random blades from different smiths would do

A great article by Markus. https://nihonto.com/samurai-income/

I'm sure they had more important stuff to care about Also low-mid ranking samurai couldn't afford it.

Although posted many times, I was thinking of posting this again Thank you George!

It's on auction with an estimation between 1.5k - 3k.. And yes being upside-down makes it unique and original.(just joking )
