Tater Posted April 16, 2023 Report Posted April 16, 2023 I'm offering for sale this healthy, beautiful Koto Bizen Osafune wakizashi with an elaborately done Orikaeshi-Mei, a preservation method where the mei is folded to the other side when blade is shortened. The blade is in good polish, revealing much depth of activity as seen in the photos and videos. No papers, but it is still a very neat piece of history for an excellent price. It is adorned with a silver habaki.

Expand The polish looks like it was done fairly recent. Do you know who may have polished the blade? By the pics and polish work done on Hada looks like David Hofhine work Quote
