Dear @Mushin, Funny to find out that you mentioned this blade - you have a good eye. It now has a sayagaki as well:

Congrats Manuel!! Very very nice!
-
Amazing! @Rayhan Thank you so much!!
-
Dear David, i’ve already found it a couple days ago, forgot to update in here. But thank you very much! -
@ROKUJURO Dear Jean, Thank you. I’ve already collected most of the designs published in the old books. They also include a version with three circles or spheres and a triangle, so I was curious why they chose to use a hexagon in this case. Of course, It may just be different interpretations of the same teaching. Also, I should mention that the tsuba you shared was created by our talented Manuel Coden (a.k.a. @C0D)

@Iaido dude I remember seeing exact same design as "Den Yagyu". I'll share when I find it. -
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

@ROKUJURO Thank you Jean! @Curran I'm working on it!

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

@ROKUJURO Thank you Jean, @Exclus1ve Victor!

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.

pretty similar..is it papered?

Thank you @Ray Singer @Nobody !!! It's weird that "Great work" was added later..it's actually pretty good work...
