Thank you all for your nice comments! @Toryu2020 Excellent writing—thank you for sharing this! Sansei Sankaku, as you know, is a well-known design. But this particular example is a hexagon, yet still classified as a triangle by the NBTHK. Any thoughts on why? And there’s also a sketch of the design in an old Yagyu book, but without any explanation. Thank you

Hello all, I’d like to share the latest addition to my collection, which recently arrived. Exhibited at the NBTHK Museum in 2014 and published in the exhibition book "Kurogane no Hana."

Hi guys, Looking for a copy of this exhibition book. Please let me know if you have an extra or are willing to part with yours. Thanks. -
Great work, Kirill! Thank you!!

It is. Ōmori Hidetomo. Though I suspect it might be gimei.

Turtles, all the way down!

I saw this blade in hand a couple of months ago. While it has a good shape, it was a bit tired, and at that range, there are quite a few other options to choose from.. -> https://eirakudo.shop/394514

Hi fellas, This came with a sword I recently purchased. I’ve compared it with other examples by Mitsutoshi, and honestly, it doesn’t feel like a gimei—but I’d love to get a second opinion. Thanks a lot!

They are pretty similar and mei looks legit so i’m sure it will get papers if you submit.

Hi fellas, Just acquired a Yagyu (most likely) tsuba, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it - starting with the period maybe? This one is a bit out of my league. 4mm mimi - 7.7cm thanks a bunch.

Iron Tsuba eagle & monkey -> Carved & antique or cast & modern ?

Modern cast -
It's pretty easy when you trust your eyes and the dealer or person.

Would you knowingly buy a gimei blade?
Okan replied to a topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
No offense! @Jacques
