A good saya with iron kojiri or an handashikoshirae. If you have a link , please pm me. Thanks for your help. Kind regards.
Ed Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 You may get lucky, but that is an awful lot of requirements to ask for when looking for an existing sword. Perhaps you should think of having a commissioned piece made to your specifications. Good luck.
Lee Bray Posted May 6, 2015 Report Posted May 6, 2015 Fits most of the criteria. http://www.aoijapan.com/katana-sakuyo-bakkashi-hosokawa-masamori-tsukuru-kore
takakage Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Posted May 28, 2015 Hi, Thanks for yours answers gentlemen. Lee, this blade is very nice by a famous smith but too expensive for me. Yes Ed , a commisionned sword could be the best.... Is someone already ordered a sword to Tozando shop ? http://www.tozandoshop.com/Articles.asp?ID=139 Regards.
takakage Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Posted April 12, 2016 Hi, A commisionned sword has be done with the help of Giheiya http://www.giheiya.com/ (Miss Kay and Andy San) with Akamatsu taro Kanemitsu as Tosho. I'm very happy. The sword is of course well craft and with my own kodogu set. So Giheiya is a reliable shop.
Greg F Posted April 12, 2016 Report Posted April 12, 2016 Congratulations on the new sword Patrick. I always enjoy looking at their swords on the site. Happy to see any pix when you get it. All the best. Greg
