Not sure what you mean there Grey...but I do like my grain to be on the blade, and not in the photos :D

Surprised he didn't add "has a very visible grain" :lol:

Brian,

You need to read the description a bit more carefully.

Oh Lord -- I haven't got a chance!!!

 

I wonder if possibly there's a lack of ploughshares somewhere?

[sencho]

I wonder which one it is that is bidding... he doesn't specify...

 

By the way, how do you describe a sword using terms that indicate an apparent knowledge of nihonto, and not remove the tsuka to check for a signature after owning it for several years....

 

Fishy...

 

Cheers

i had to read it 3 times to find what you mentioned.

[Bungo]

I don't get it..........you mean how he knows the length of the nakago without removing the tsuka ? The fuzzy pics?

 

but what that got to do with " you'll find you're up against some very serious competition. " ?
