Swords

I know it’s old thread but doesn't say it was sold?

Can’t tell with these pictures Maybe a gimei maybe not especially with a big name as Sukasada Chris is right buy the sword not the smith I think there’s to many variables to consider Lots of good opinions though Steve

Thanks for that Newb you’re probably right A gimei is a big concern

It is in good condition and I like the navel items more than army I was thinking of selling but after nobody was nice enough to translate it’ gives it more meaning

I have more didn’t think it mattered much but here’s more

I saw this sword by Sukasada but am Leary since his name were faked Any opinions would be appreciated Antique nihonto Japanese katanai sword BIZEN KOKU JYU OSAFUNE SUKESADA SAKU 備前國住長船祐定作 August 1558 永禄元年八月日 signed

I forgot to mention the others who chimed in Many thanks

Thanks Nobody I didn’t expect all this information but I’ll take it Size 3 He must have had a small head

Thanks Bruce Maybe I can get Nobody to help with the rest He knows his stuff

Any assistance for translating the Kaji would be appreciated

If this has stainless materials why dose the Boshi have a turn back ? It is also very sharp since I was able to cut paper Properly because the polisher who spent time giving it a thorough polish

Because I had interest I would like to add additional pictures to the entire blade thanks Steve

No problem I will probably post it in the for sale or trade section

Bruce can you send me information of the guys who’s interested I’m my takayama sword steve

Thanks David you took the words out of my mouth there aren’t any scratches As I pointed out its mint unlike other stainless steel This sword is much thicker Made in the takayama forge Having a polisher gives it a mirror like finish A collectible beautiful sword i might add

Thanks Bruce Send the guys who are interested my way I do fart in bed not in my wife’s hand Drinking Metamucil and getting older doesn’t help Thanks for the advice Brian I will use that section Steve
