Hirokuni aka Yasukuni

[Stephen]

Life goes on one sells a old friend to escape some debt. Your set to take care of some weight off your back then lo and behold a RS drops out of the sky your chance to buy something that you wanted for a long time so you do.

Quite excited about it until you open and it's only 25 inches long minor setback beautiful sword great activity n problem with saya.

Full disclosure coming. Time Marches on and all those back aches are still there so with a heavy heart my new friend needs to become an old friend sad as it is. It will be priced at the end of the photos I want to show what I did to repair the saya.

The crack was much longer tan initial photo seller made it right with me though good man.

 

Stain, putty, paint is all ive done.

To anyone considering this purchase wanted to yet again say this is an awesome seller. Just bought an amazing blade from him that I would not trade for the world. He went above and beyond to make sure the sell went smoothly! Awesome fellow 👏 Favorite part of the sword changes daily but this is the one for today
