LakeBum Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 This may be a silly question, but has anyone seen any Black Friday deals for nihonto before? Not just swords but books and whatnot too! Thanks, Jason Quote
Stephen Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 Ill give you a Black Friday, Fujishiro KOTO < SHINTO, like new books!!! 400 shipped USA! Quote
LakeBum Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Posted November 14, 2013 400 really is not in my books budget but what do those books have in them? Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 About all information on Koto and Shinto swords (In Japanese) compiled by one of the best Japanese polishers and scholars who ever lived. I wish I had 400 US$. I would not hesitate. KM Quote
Stephen Posted November 15, 2013 Report Posted November 15, 2013 Thank you KM I think the books are a bit advanced for him, maybe later in his studies. Quote
LakeBum Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Posted November 15, 2013 Yah I just started with 4 different books. I'm about a book and a half in. Wow is there a lot to read and learn lol. I went through the handbook by yumoto. I'm really liking the book on modern sword smiths though. I think the next book I go after is the one by Paul Martin. I have the connoisseurs book too but I think I'm gonna save that for later. Quote
Jean Posted November 15, 2013 Report Posted November 15, 2013 Jason, Please sign all your posts with a first name and an initial You have to begin with the Connoisseur Book and read after Paul Martin's book, that the way it goes. There is a saying in French:"don't put oxes behind the plow" Quote
LakeBum Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Posted November 15, 2013 Dang, sorry I forgot Jean and I will take your advice and read Paul's book second then! Jason Quote
