Thanks for your help

I found this info The Jumyo (寿命) school has its origins from Yamato (Nara prefecture) and moved to Mino province (Gifu prefecture) in the Kamakura period (1185-1333). The tradition continued for centuries, right up until the end of the Edo period in 1868. Their unique name, Jumyo, means life span or longevity.

I see what you mean I may only need a Finnish polish that would save more money But I believe it’s a rare sword and is worth it to me I didn’t mean to bring this up where everyone will see my discussion Now I bet i get a lot of criticism I already got 2 down votes when I asked what you spent on your sword Steve
-
Thats a good price ! I originally paid 2380 for mine Than returned it and bought it back for 2000 after I new woody could polish it It’s probably going to cost maybe 2000 to get it polished So I’m guessing in the 4000 range Now I’m thinking was it all worth it ? Did you put it back in the original scabbard after polish or had a new one made? Steve
-
Just curious What did you pay for your sword before polishing?

I appreciate the help Why would a Japanese smith do that Make it worth more to sell ? Steve

Can anyone help me with the kaji translation Thanks steve
-
Yes I did thanks for clarifying
-
Bruce Can I ask who did the polishing on your sword ? Steve
-
Sorry I meant Bruce not John

Thanks Brian for your positive comments I’m aware that this type of sword doesn’t have a nice hamon However it’s been my experience that with any sword having an Amateurish clean up loses its value. I also believe it would be hard to resell Maybe I’m wrong? Just my opinion John just curious who did the polish
-
If I spent 6.k on a sword I would be sleeping on the couch for a long time
-
Thanks for clearing up the hamon John As far as I’m concerned regardless who cleaned it ruined the integrity of the sword Not for me I’m returning it Too bad it’s a waste of a nice sword I haven’t had much luck with swords lately people who i thought i could trust cant

I just sold all my nidivia stocks so I’m ready to buy

Thanks for the info so was reading about this very interesting I Its not the best blade but I guess the history alone adds value provided the Mei is legit Steve
-
I guess the winner is the one with the deepest pockets Too bad others on the forum want it We are bidding against one another not good
-
Got another interested so much for privacy lol What Makes this sword so interesting and I’m guessing more valuable steve

I’m still sitting on the fence about scratches could I be mistaken ? I wish that I could have another do a hands on rather than pictures As Brian pointed out there’s no hada but I can see a straight hada Can the metal cause it to look more like scratches? Just an observation Here’s more pics steve
-
Now I’m a bit confused Brian i agree with you not having a hada Back to the scratches Are we on the same page that someone cleaned it leaving scratches? Steve
-
Yep I wasn’t 💯 sure but I agree Damm it didn’t look like that in the original photos
