Ray Singer Posted April 14, 2020 Report Posted April 14, 2020 This is a large, powerful Shinto wakizashi with a nakago which is textbook for the Settsu group (for example, smiths such as Kawachi Kunisuke). The blade has an suguha hamon with an extremely bright nioiguchi. Small ashi. Ko-maru boshi. Jihada is a fine ko-itame. One kitae-ware is shown in these photos. Blade measured 56cm, with 32mm moto-haba, 24mm saki-haba and 7.5mm kasane. Large kissaki with no damage. Overall very good polish with a few small rust spots. Ubu nakago with 1 mekugi-ana. Copper habaki and shirasaya with horn hato-mei. SOLD Best regards, Ray 3 Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted April 14, 2020 Report Posted April 14, 2020 Very cheap! Some makers would almost take that amount for the Shirasaya only! Getting a new Saya and copper Habaki made will exceed the asking price allready. What a crazy market! 1 Quote
nagamaki - Franco Posted April 14, 2020 Report Posted April 14, 2020 Having owned Settsu blades this hada definitely looks Settsu to me. As Bruce Kowalski lectured don't overlook mumei wakizashi. Quote
Blazeaglory Posted April 14, 2020 Report Posted April 14, 2020 Wow! Great price! Surprised it hasn't sold yet Quote
Oshy Posted April 14, 2020 Report Posted April 14, 2020 Im assuming he has received several PMs from interested parties per the above. Quote
Ray Singer Posted April 14, 2020 Author Report Posted April 14, 2020 Yes, the wakizashi is now on hold. Sorry for the late confirmation and much appreciate the inquiries. Kind regards, Ray Quote
stephan_hiller Posted May 5, 2020 Report Posted May 5, 2020 The wakizashi arrived today and I am more than happy. It is really an impressive blade with a lot of activities to enjoy. I also want to say thank you to Ray Singer for his excellent service. Everything went smoothly, from the packaging and shipping and all the communication with Ray was extraordinary. I will definitely do business with him again as I felt always well informed and everything was presented correctly and honestly. Thank you Ray. Stephan 1 Quote
Ray Singer Posted May 5, 2020 Author Report Posted May 5, 2020 Hi Stephan, as always it is gratifying to hear that the someone who has bought a sword is pleased with the piece and with the overall experience.
