Swords

Firstly I want to apologize to Vajo I overreacted because I had another member who was interested In buying it and let my Irish temper get the best of me I rearranged the seppas in order largest near the tsuba and in order I noticed the habaki wasn’t flush which was part of the problem I straightened it best I could I think it’s better than it was Thanks for everyone’s help Here's a photo

I don’t mean to get upset I had a member that wanted to buy my sword Anyway it should be a quick fix Nothing wrong with the sword Steve

Yes I see I need to arrange them it a better order. Steve

Please keep your negative comments to yourself It’s the angle of the photo I took

Hi John I didn’t think that would be an issue but you’re probably right! I was worried it would turn off potential buyers But better to be up front I guess Lots of work getting seppas to fit poking myself twice making leather seppas and cutting a menuki I wouldn’t have done it without the help from others so thanks to all for the tip Yes it is a nice sword Blade is it great shape for an EDO era sword and Yes I’m selling it if anybody’s interested Steve

I agree with everyone badly shaped kissaki Totally trashed A example of a bad sword run don’t look back

I thought i would start a new thread for this sword I posted earlier I found a pice of leather to help tighten it up Now its barely any wiggle I made 2 leather seppas The one I used was trimmed nicer than the other in the photo It’s been a long and tedious job I used a Dark future polish to make it darker because of a lighter tan color I filed 3 seppas to fit and added a thicker menuki Now every thing fits and isn’t noticeable because the color blends in well I poked myself twice with the xacto knife ouch Now I’m thinking of selling it but am concerned about having adding a leather seppa and some missing material around the Menuki Other than that Blade is like mint A Beautiful hamon A nice EDO era sword I took a bunch of photos If anyone needs any I have an extra one Steve

It saves money buying more seppas that may not fit

I have a file kit I ordered from EBay 2 seppas that were too small I filed the inside diameter to make it fit I got rid of the insulation now It fits better just a little wiggle but much better If I had a piece of leather it wouldn’t probably tighten it more here’s a picture

I should have my glasses on Thanks for the help

I did notice the kaji was ground down Don’t know why it was cut down And the scabbard looks like it was varnished and polished How bad do these issues hurt the value?

Looking to get opinions of this sword

Hi John what makes you think the date is suspicious? I’m not sure if it traditional or arsenal Any idea Steve J

Ron It dose but it’s not traditional unless it doesn’t matter A word out to others who need translation Use chat gbt steve

Got it I was hoping it to be traditional but the more I look I see the dark peaks that depicts it to be arsenal
