Soooooo jealous!

[Alex A]

Great.

 

Whats the story on the rusty relic?, if anyone knows that is.

[Toryu2020]

Brought in by Eric Molinier - claimed it was a much abused Shinshinto blade purposely made to look old...

Thank you for posting such interesting photos of your trip to the SF show, and congratulations on your haul. Books are such an enjoyable portal into sword study.

Have you guys seen enough or should I post more?

[b.hennick]

Bring them on. I always enjoy pictures when I can’t attend a show. They make me want to make time next year and give it a try.

Ha ha, I was even there (obviously 😉) and I want more. 

[Brian]

Encore!

[Toryu2020]

I tried posting the last dozen or so last night and I guess that failed - will try again tonight...

Thomas, who was the gentleman in the Hawaiian surf spot T shirt? He looks familiar, like i should know him.....great photos by the way, thanks.

[Toryu2020]

Some more...

[Tom Darling]

Keep them coming.  Great

[Bugyotsuji]

Worth seeing these on a bigger screen! 

(I found the In Memoriam section pretty hard-hitting.)

[Brian]

I would have gone mad there. Oh man....so much want!

Stephen - Al Herr was the guy with the bourbon on his table.

Steven - I don't know what a surf spot t-shirt is so cannot tell you who we're talking about...

I was wondering who had this great looking Kunihiro for sale? I have my guess who it might be, and I am just curious as it is way out of my league.

[Mark S.]

Ohhhhh… that jumonji yard!!!!!!  Want want want….

We don't have a post number anymore since the update....Thomas, the man I am asking about was wearing a gray T shirt with tan slacks or long shorts, standing behind a table with a Noh mask and a yellow vase in the foreground, with a hotel luggage cart off to the side.........sorry for the work, hope you can help. He looks like a guy i surfed with years ago maybe; his shirt has Haleiwa, Jockos, etc. on it, those are North Shore Oahu surf spots. Thanks......

Post number was an external app, not compatible with the new software. Developers seem to think it's not needed. No plugin exists currently.
Click top right 3 dots, share --> gives you a link to that post. Best we can do for now.

I am curious also regarding the table with the water stones; were they for sale or was there a polishing demo or?

[Toryu2020]

The stones were for sale...
