Chris, I totally understand. I am just very intrigued by the craftsmanship behind a hand forged blade. My hope was that someone has a very poor example that they would like to move out of their collection to make room for something new!

I would mostly be looking for a katana. Thanks Chris!

Hello! I have always been interested in all things Nihonto; however, I have never had the money to get into collecting. I recently have been given a promotion at my job and have the disposable income to hopefully begin officially collecting! I am looking to purchase my first Nihonto katana, and hoping to spend at max $1,200. I know that most pieces are much more expensive than that, but I was hoping to someone may be looking to clean out some less desirable pieces in their collection. If anyone has a Nihonto preferably in shirasaya that is on the lower end of the desirability scale, I would be more than interested. I am located in the USA. Thanks!
