    I’m reading these post and am a bit upset because I’m trying to sell a sword to a guy in England I never had any issues selling to France ! However if they are using X-ray scanners it doesn’t really matter ! Maybe they should ban kitchen knives next They can be concealed !! Steve

    Swords In full polish The polish alone cost nearly as much as what what the sword cost Basically you are getting the sword for free 2500 + 100.00 ships priority with insurance Steve

    I wanted to thank everyone for their advice getting the mekugi out of the TSUKA and the blade issue Steve
  6. Swords

  7. Swords

  8. Swords

    Finally I used the awl from the cleaning kit pounded it with the point end and it broke into small pieces left from the peg Than I cut a new peg to fit from a chop stick Thanks for everyone’s help

    I can’t see day light but looks like wood inside Even if there’s. Wood inside the hole shouldn’t the scabbard come off without forcing it ? The peg came out easily on both sides yet when I pounded it using a block of wood and a hammer it didn’t budge I don’t know if it’s lined up I will try the pin like John mentioned I will take a picture

    I tried tapping the tsuba with a block of wood and hammer but probably not as hard as I should I will take a picture
  14. Swords
    The ends of the mekugi came out easily because it was broken. I did try the chopstick but no luck I think it’s wedged in pretty good I was thinking maybe a small Alan wrench ? Because what s left of the peg is inside Im afraid if it’s not in tang hole and not lined up I don’t want to force it out! Maybe im making it more complicated than it is

    I am perplexed because the wrapping was tight so I don’t know why the mekugi got broken? I will give it a try I don’t want to make it worse thanks Steve
  16. Swords
    Yes thanks for correcting me
  17. Swords
    I’m glad I had help deciding what to do about this sword s i appreciate everyones opinion I have a question I noticed the menuki is broken off in the saya the ends of the menuki on both sides came off I tried removing the saya but is frozen I believe a piece of the menuki is stuck inside the saya Any help would be appreciated Steve
  18. Swords
    I did get a 300.00 off the price so I think it best to keep it Maybe down the road I will get it polished as it seems worth it to me The spot isn’t Deep but smooth more superficial Again thanks for all opinions It was a difficult decision and hope it was the right choice
  19. Swords
    Would you want it if it was yours? I sent Woody pictures to see what he thought
  20. Swords
    Got the sword yesterday I had high hopes but to me it looked at some point someone tried to remove rust causing damage Too bad the rest of the blade looks nice ! Having a 2 million yen star stamped would have a decent sword to own The seller asked if I would take a partial refund but I don’t believe it can be restored ? here pictures
  21. Swords
    Thanks John hope you’re right Brian I am trying to be positive so will wait and see
  22. Swords
    I was so busy looking at the good part of the hamon I didn’t look hard enough at the bad part I dont this would be considered Very good condition ?
  23. Swords
    You’re right when I get a hands on look at it I will take close up pictures Thanks again for all the help! I’m glad I posted it Steve
  24. Swords
    I will have to look at it when I get it
  25. Swords
    Yes David flamboyant probably a good analogy but the characteristic by this smith is wide suguba which I believe represents this hamon
