QuangD Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 I wish I could make it to the show but other works tied up. Can anyone who attended the Chicago show give us a update? I heard Milt sold out all his junks...Ops...I mean tsuba..... How is the Shinsa? more pink papers than white....as usual! Quang Quote
Mark Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 Re: Shinsa. There were so many "pinks" thay actaully ran out of pink paper, thay had to use blue, which i guess is appropriate as you are blue if you get pinked. mark Jones Quote
Stephen Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 On this subject, just waiting on a reply from Mo first, i always belive in giving the other side a chance give thier side before i go on a rant. Quote
QuangD Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Posted May 1, 2007 Mark, So I guess the standard of passing NTHK paper is getting more stricter than before or there are still so many gimei left in the states. Quote
Mark Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 I did not mean to imply they were unfair, it may be that the quality of what was submitted was low (there was a shinsa 6 months ago). I think they are strict but the "pinks" i saw were understandable, a couple of things i had seen before shinsa and i thought they were gimei. mark Quote
bullpuppy Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 I just got an email from Mo and my two swords passed. One was a meji period Kanemoto late generation Kanemoto. The other one was attributed to a showa maker hidetoshi. Both received kanteisho at 70points. This is my third sword submitted to a shinsa and so far all have passed. The first one was bought through advice on this board (thanks everyone) and the second two I bought on my own through ebay. The Kanemoto was posted here some time ago and pretty much dismissed as Geimei, gunto etc. I don't think I posted the Koto. I will post the worksheet when I get them. The pictures are at this link I will post the worksheets when I get them. http://www.fototime.com/inv/981B29A88E9800A Quote
Bungo Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 " I heard Milt sold out all his junks " ..............really? In that case Bob Benson, Bob Haynes, Skip Holbrook , Mike Yamasaki all like " junks " then. milt the ronin Quote

bullpuppy Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Any ideas who a Showa maker by the name Hidetoshi is? Quote
Stever Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Stephen said: Hidetoshi huh? must have been a catch all. Hi Stephen, I take it from this comment that you know of others that received Hidetoshi attributions at this shinsa? Do shinsa orgs do this often with blades that deserve papers but they otherwise aren't sure of? I remember hearing of something similar happening at the NJ shinsa last fall. cheers Quote
Stephen Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Not the same Hidetoshi thats in Slough's book, do a search in JSI hes n most of the Gendai meikans, dont know whats going on i cant reach BIG MO. or hes not getting back until he knows more...im in the dark. Quote
bullpuppy Posted May 5, 2007 Report Posted May 5, 2007 I posted the paper. Will the real Hidetoshi be known..... http://www.fototime.com/inv/17FDB901F678FB7 Quote
Stephen Posted May 5, 2007 Report Posted May 5, 2007 Benjokame if you ask me, what a waste of knowledge. Quote
