What a shame. Original sell https://www.ebay.com/itm/Imperial-Japan-Type-95-NCO-Gunto-sword-/393110215827 2 1 Quote

vajo Posted March 23, 2021 Report Posted March 23, 2021 This guy is just total crazy Look here his "Kamikaze" sword. Take a look on the seppa it indicates the rest of the sword. He destroy everything what an idiot. WWII Japanese colonel pilot's kamikaze sword RARE PROTOTYPE FOR NAVY AND ARMY | eBay Quote
Stegel Posted March 23, 2021 Report Posted March 23, 2021 Great work BangBangSan! The seller of the original was initially asking $1200 back in October. The Handle came from this sale, https://www.ebay.com/itm/WW2-Japanese-NCO-OFFICERS-Katana-SWORD-No-Scabbard-War-Bring-Back-Make-Offer-/274683036317?hash=item3ff462829d%3Ag%3AZDgAAOSwB1RgKJA4&nma=true&si=Fqt8v0ReL%2FgRvp7smL77g14iJXI%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Now the monkey is also selling on the bare blade after stripping the handle. https://www.ebay.com/itm/wwII-Japanese-Army-officer-NCO-SWORD-blade-only/114737303547?hash=item1ab6e04ffb:g:XcIAAOSwoOVgWUEy 3 1 Quote
Shamsy Posted March 23, 2021 Report Posted March 23, 2021 I recognised the saya from a previous listing when the alert popped up this morning. Don't remember the rest of the sword being part of the sale, so good detective work, Trystan. I'd never buy anything from him anyway because you just don't know how much tampering has taken place. He throws rare and prototype around like they're going out of style. Typically the two words that make me take a careful second look with a sceptical eye. I wonder how many frankenswords we see here might have their origins with him. Quote
b.hennick Posted March 23, 2021 Report Posted March 23, 2021 Stuff like that happens all the time. I received a sword where the tsuba didn't fit, the habaki didn't fit, the tsuka didn't fit, the kozuka didn't fit, the saya didn't fit. 2 Quote

Jcremer24 Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 Was anyone aware that this seller also has a YouTube channel?? I would guess this is the same guy, I have read some pretty poor things about him. https://youtube.com/channel/UCdIb1UHHSH0EziBk0xHi33Q 1 Quote

Infinite_Wisdumb Posted March 26, 2021 Report Posted March 26, 2021 A weird seller indeed. I got my sarute from him and he kept pestering me about buying my sword. Not the transaction we were discussing, just he wanted my sword. Weird Quote
ChrisW Posted March 26, 2021 Report Posted March 26, 2021 That's because he wants to get his grimy paws on it to butcher it for parts/tart it up. He thinks he can take advantage of people and make a buck (which he sadly accomplishes sometimes). So screw that guy. 1 1 Quote
Jcremer24 Posted March 27, 2021 Report Posted March 27, 2021 I was gonna start hitting him hard in the comments! Luckily he doesnt have too large of a following! Quote

Droocoo Posted April 4, 2021 Report Posted April 4, 2021 I have just come across this: "WW2 Japanese knife DAGGER DIRK collectible antique leather case navy" Looks like a KA-Bar to me, but I am no expert. Andrew 1 1 Quote
Brian Posted April 4, 2021 Report Posted April 4, 2021 Yes it is. Worth 1/4 of what he is asking. He's an idiot. 1 Quote
Droocoo Posted April 4, 2021 Report Posted April 4, 2021 I messaged him informing him of his deception and he thanked me but hasn't changed his listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/WW2-Japanese-knife-DAGGER-DIRK-collectible-antique-leather-case-navy-/114190141808 Quote
Jcremer24 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Posted April 5, 2021 Lol. I have a KA-Bar knife myself. It was like maybe $75 or so? Cant remember what I paid for it, but it is one of my favorite knives. But $400? What a fool. Yeah, I found his videos before I even started collecting nihonto, I could tell right off the bat, that this guy didnt know what he was talking about. Quote
ChrisW Posted April 5, 2021 Report Posted April 5, 2021 I just hope, that one of these days, he abuses a blade and it bites him. Hard. Quote

Droocoo Posted April 5, 2021 Report Posted April 5, 2021 I made a mistake with my previous comment - Samurai Monkey did not apologise to me, another seller did (but also did nothing about his listing). This is what Sumari Monkey had to say on YouTube (he has not responded to me on eBay): Quote

Greg F Posted April 6, 2021 Report Posted April 6, 2021 I've messaged him a few times over the last few years and he always plays dumb or the victim. Today I messaged him about the ka bar and told him there's a lot of discussion in the antique weapon community about his dodgy sales and he said he knows people aren't happy with him and he's ok with it.
