vfl Posted February 5, 2023 Author Report Posted February 5, 2023 Bumpity; still available. Late 1300's blade with Edo Koshirae Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted February 6, 2023 Report Posted February 6, 2023 That's one of the brightest nioi-guchi I've ever seen, & usually indicates a high-quality blade. Wonder why Tsuruta didn't mention who the smith was, or that it was attributed to a den? 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted May 14, 2023 Report Posted May 14, 2023 Just went to see an exhibition of swords in Fukuyama Castle, still running. There were several swords by the Hokke, including Ichijo and Nichijo as I recall, lit up with spotlights inside thier individual glass cases. 1 Quote
Northwind Posted May 18, 2023 Report Posted May 18, 2023 I didn't see/can't find a seller feedback forum. I bought this blade. VFL already has it in my hands. Faster than Amazon. It's exactly as it was pictured/described, and was shipped lightning fast the same day I had him paid. Packing was highly protective and secure. Excellent seller. 2 3 Quote
vfl Posted May 18, 2023 Author Report Posted May 18, 2023 Appreciate the feedback! And I'm very glad this found a good home Also I will say the same of Northwind: excellent communication, prompt with payment and info. Would sell to again for sure! Quote
