vajo Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 It's a question of the money you have in the bag. These tsuba are worth every cent. I love the naoyuki but it is so far away and never reachable for me. Quote
flo06 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Posted September 21, 2016 Thanks guys for your kind words. Apparently times are tough for everyone. Difficult to be able to splurge right now... I must admit our passion isn't the least expensive Quote
Gakusee Posted September 29, 2016 Report Posted September 29, 2016 Brian and mods, there are often instances with pictures uploaded in the forum that when I click on an image using my iPhone, I do not see anything. What happens is that a new Internet tab is opened and it just says 'about:blank' instead of an image which I can zoom in and review enlarged. Any help with that? I wanted to have a closer look at the tsuba Flo has kindly posted but the images are not there to zoom in. Thanks a lot and apologies for sidetracking this visual feast, Michael Quote
