Experience with ebayseller

[Civilis]

Does anyone here have any experience with an ebayseller by the name of rukasan from Italy?

Hi Albert,

 

It must be his item you are looking at http://www.ebay.com/itm/170943192908?ss ... 1423.l2649

 

I have no experience with the seller, but he seems honest and open. From hi-res pictures sent to me by the seller, the blade has what looks like a hagire (a fatal flaw) and a very nasty opening at the cutting edge. If you wish, PM me with your email and I'll forward the pictures to you. Even though it's not part of your original question, I would caution against this blade because of the aforementioned flaws.

 

Regards,

PM send, thank you. The seller mentioned the hagire, but the pictures didn't really show it. Would love to see the high resolution pictures.

"thickness 2.8 inch / 7.35 cm at the guard and 2.2 inch / 5.64 cm at the notch"

 

WOW, that's a thick blade!!

[Civilis]

Yes lol, besides the lenght it has amazing thickness. Seller didn't seem to have all the facts straight. so I thought maybe he is off on the hagire as well.

Its not a sword, its an iron bar :lol:

Hi Albert,

 

Emails sent. The hagire is there alright. He doesn't know a nihonto from a machete, but I have to say he seems to be very honest and decent.

Thanks for the pics, hagire is indeed there. I did not bid on the sword and will not be bidding either. I did like the lenght of the blade for martial arts purposes, but to bad its to much damaged.
