Greg F Posted October 21, 2018 Report Posted October 21, 2018 Hello all, For some reason my tablet wouldnt let me link this so I just did a screanshot of the top of the page so that you can find it easier on Aoi. I found it very interesting this blade isnt papered but then I thought that this blade really speaks for itself. Would like others thoughts on this. Regards. Greg 2 Quote
Vermithrax16 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Posted October 21, 2018 Wonderful work, just a stellar sword. Being made in 1986 is going to preclude papers anytime soon unless I am mistaken. That said, who would not rate this sword Tokubetsu Hozon minimum right now? Quote
Ted Tenold Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 The NBTHK does not issue papers to living makers. Perhaps you are confusing this Kuniie (Shoji) with his Grandfather (Katsukichi) who was also Kuniie. 4 Quote
Greg F Posted October 22, 2018 Author Report Posted October 22, 2018 Hi Ted I must've forgot they dont issue papers to living smiths. Hi Jeremiah I would have to agree with you there. Thanks guys. Greg Quote

I wonder if they will now start issuing papers. Quote
w.y.chan Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 Hi Ted. Didn't Kuniie (Shoji) pass away this summer? I wonder if they will now start issuing papers. It was his nephew Yoshikazu Quote
