Not exactly sure what the deal is with this

That's a big sword!

Thanks for the positive feedback Ray and Adam! Almost out of this batch. Here's what's left: #2 in RED (6 left) #4 in ORANGE (1 left) #8 in PURPLE Silk (1 left)

Thanks Ray! Almost all of the second batch are gone. I have 3 orange and 4 red left.

eBay is not really an option for selling with their obscene fees. As a buyer, you also have to think that you are paying eBay's CEO every time you buy, and not just the owner

1,2,4 and 8 still available. The others have sold. Thanks!

I see a few similar characteristics in this hamon to the NBTHK certified Mino Senjuin that I owned previously. Namely, this part. Also, I really like that habaki! Looks like it could be an older one.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing this. Have any closer pictures of the hamon? I'd like to compare it with a mino senjuin I had.

(1830, and with a sword this time)

We should try to dredge up some primary sources on this if we can. I believe this is Kato Kiyomasa with a very lacquerish looking color running exactly inside his yari. Is it a different shade than the one the artist chose to use for the severed heads?
