Stephen Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 we discussed this few years back i think i caught Hidekuni on the rewatch Quote
SAS Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 Love how it was just handed over for inspection without at least some basic cautionary speech like "don't touch the blade and try to see how sharp it is" and "don't lick it" etc. The TV guy thought $2500 was steep lol. I saw that episode when it originally aired, back when I still had a TV. Quote
Stephen Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 I did too Steve, i had forgot the selling price, do you remember? Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 I loved the barehanded grab of the blade while removing the tsuka. The guy owned the sword for over 20 years and he still didn't know how to handle a sword. Quote
SAS Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 I don't remember the exact sword price but i think it was about $3500. Quote
Geraint Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 And not to cross threads but it has a nice habaki Don't you find that whenever the media cover something that you are knowledgeable about you find yourself wincing at the inaccuracies? All the best. 4 Quote

Dr Fox Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Posted February 2, 2017 Or me! Just viewed a video, London dealer handing over a katana to a customer, cutting edge first. Then the customer drawing one of his own blades from a shira saya, on its side! Or am I just being pedantic?. Quote
