SwordGuyJoe Posted October 30, 2015 Report Posted October 30, 2015 Tamba no kami yoshimichi. I don't know him well enough to weigh in on validity of the mei. That would say whether you paid too much or not. Quote
Mark Posted October 30, 2015 Report Posted October 30, 2015 I am not comfortable telling someone else what to buy. I think it best to buy something at a level you know and then move up slowly as you learn and can evaluate the sword yourself Quote
Ed Posted October 30, 2015 Report Posted October 30, 2015 Signed: Tamba no kami Yoshimichi (Kyoto group). Shoshin ??? Katana ??? Wakizashi I think. Condition looks ok. Price, ok. OOPs, guess ya'll beat me to the draw. Quote
Griffero Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Posted October 31, 2015 Kyoto or osaka that it means? Quote
Ray Singer Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 After the first generation founder of the Yoshimichi school (Kyo), there were two parallel lines working in Kyoto and Osaka. http://www.sho-shin.com/osaka-tamba.html http://www.sho-shin.com/kyoto-mishina.html - Ray Quote
Griffero Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Posted October 31, 2015 Is it A Good smith? Serious which my katana? Quote
Greg F Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 Hi Carlos, Not bad for your 1st sword. I think your sword is a wakizashi (short sword) not a katana (long sword) as Ed has said above. Greg Quote
Griffero Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Posted October 31, 2015 All that measures of length this katana? Quote
Brian Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 Nagasa less than 30.3cm = tanto Nagasa between 30.3cm and 60.5cm = wakizashi Nagasa from 60.6cm = katana 1 Quote
