Inexpensive koto

[bone]

anything koto that I can afford or afford with trade. I have a decent couple of tsuba and a few hundred dollars. *shrug* Hey. It's worth a shot.

Keep watching this guy from week to week. He sells some cheap lower end stuff. You have more of a chance getting lucky there than here. Also you should post pictures of your tsuba so we can see if we want to make an offer on them.

not a bad price for a first sword, Newer blade but we often get intry requests. Yes one to fallow.

Komonjo is Mike Yamaguchi in Pasadena. Good guy, & easy to work with.

Just be careful, I had a problem with a blade from him because he doesn't list all of the damage. He also posts blades on eBay without having held them in hand according to him.

Make sure you ask very detailed questions and you will get honest answers from my experience, but don't assume anything.

Thanks guys. People from the board came through for me and I'm getting a koto wak and katana. No they're not museum quality but neither am I.

I love this place and I love you people.

No idea what the mei is.

Steve,

 

Being now Jo saku, please when you post a nakago picture with a mei, do it so one can decipher it without twisting is neck.

[bobtail44]

looks good could you take a close up picture of the blade collar area, where the blade meets the tang? Just curious about it

 

Cheers,
