DanBaker Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Hi all, Has anyone ever bought any nihonto from this seller: http://www.japanesesword.com/ any advice/feedback would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Dan Quote
Brian Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 They are widely regarded as one of the good dealers to deal with. Fair prices, and honest. I haven't heard anything bad about them at all. As always, get a few other opinions first, but I think you should have pleasant dealings there. Some of the polishes look to have been done non-traditionally on a few blades, but not sure if that is before they were supplied for sale or not. Brian Quote
DanBaker Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Posted November 1, 2006 Thanks Brian. I look forward to hearong some more views/experiences Quote

ironchef. Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Excellent sellers mostly in gendaito and Showa era swords. A friend bought a Yasukuni blade from them and was very happy with the transaction.

Alfred Tan Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Hi Dan I run JapaneseSword.com with my wife. Let me know if there is anything I could help you with. I am out of the country quite often for my day job so sometimes am a little slow to respond so be patient if you do not hear back from me immediately Quote
LtRandy Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Dan: I've known and dealt with Alfred and his wife for over ten years, and have never had a bit of difficulty. He attends the Florida Show each February and has helped me to learn some of the finer points of collecting. I have purchased over 5 blades and a number of tsubas from him. His description and photos on the web site are excellent. I wouldn't hesitiate to purchase from him or allowing him to sell an item, in fact he's done that for me also. Very fair and honest. Outstanding young man. Randy Quote
