if yours is an emura. Not to be confused with Ichihara Nagamitsu. They are different blacksmiths. What I sell is Ichihara Nagamitsu and it is certified by NBTHK. By the way, do you have photos of your piece? I haven't found it in the sales thread. I would like to see it
It is still for sale. Yes, this piece is exceptional. Nagamitsu value depends on the state and also the signature. and if it is nbthk.. some suitors but some undecided. I'm really not going to underestimate it. I imagine someone will appreciate this work.
If anyone needs a video where all the details can be better appreciated, ask for it privately. I will send you a high quality video. This piece is in extraordinary condition. and has no damage. The koshirae is really beautiful.

you are partly right. lithium grease. usually leaves the saya sticky. but if it is a very thin layer it hardly gets dirty because there is not much friction. I think too much oil for wood is much worse. I have to keep an eye on the oil regularly and rust spots often appear. unfortunately I can't oil my blades every week. Regarding the silk ito, I answer myself. It's purple silk. I have taken some natural soap and rubbed with a damp sponge and a little water. it has been flawless. especially not to get tsuka too wet. just moisten the ito slightly. rub and rub. and dry with a soft hair dryer. without too much heat. is a solution
Hello!!! I have been using choji oil for oiling. and alcohol for cleaning. but when I usually leave the pieces for long periods of time without touching. I usually use a thin layer of lithium grease. What do you think of lithium grease? Oh, and finally, how do you usually clean silk when it gets dark and dirty? ito silk
I wanted to introduce myself! My name is Zaia and I am a Spanish girl. fond of martial arts and nihonto. I hope to learn a lot from you. And excuse me if I say something stupid! My intention is to continue learning.
I get it from the numbering. you can tell the year but what worries me is that he paid a lot of money for this sword. It is polished and in mint condition and is wearing a really beautiful new civilian koshirae and has nbthk papers. but the truth is that I would like to know if you can be 100% sure that it is a gendaito. I read tons of information but nothing is clear. Or at least I don't understand. excuse my ignorance. if i'm talking nonsense
Hello! I'm zaia. I've read the whole post but it's not clear to me. I recently bought nihonto in Japan and it has nbthk papers. in theory they told me that it is original tamahagane gendaito. it is right? or can it be showato? I will send pictures of nakago.
