jezah81 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 Hi guys, I need some more opinions on another mumei wakizashi that im thinking of buying. Here is the link to the sword. http://www.tozandoshop.com/antique/a144.html Would the nakago be considered "too rusted" to be worth the money, or is that type of rust acceptable? Kind Regards, Jeremy Hagop Quote
Grey Doffin Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 Hard to tell much from the pictures but it looks like the blade has seen a great deal of the polishing stones. It seems to narrow quickly above the ha-machi, an unnatural curve in the edge. I'd ask for a straight on shot of the blade with no habaki so you can see if I'm right. Grey Quote
Mike Posted June 2, 2007 Report Posted June 2, 2007 Grey is right, see second photo, there is hardly mune-machi left. Mike Quote
