John C Posted August 30, 2023 Report Posted August 30, 2023 Odd that the kikusui seems a bit clumsy. John C. Quote
Brian Posted August 30, 2023 Report Posted August 30, 2023 Nah, we've had a discussion about those kikusui here before and it was shows how much they can vary. I wouldn't worry about that. 1 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted August 30, 2023 Report Posted August 30, 2023 Old Masataka must've done one too many "Kanpai!" when he chiseled that one. 4 Quote

Eric Santucci Posted August 30, 2023 Report Posted August 30, 2023 Interesting sword, thanks for posting. I always recommend accessing the auction site directly (in this case Dan Morphy Auctions) instead of Invaluable as you can see bids direct on the auction house site. Fees are typically lower too if you go directly thru the auction house. https://auctions.mor...RINE_-LOT566497.aspx 2 2 Quote
Brian Posted August 30, 2023 Report Posted August 30, 2023 If anyone is registered for this auction, please let me know? There is something I REALLY want there...not Japanese related. Would love to own this: https://auctions.mor...TIC_P-LOT564194.aspx I wonder how high it will go? 1 Quote

A "replica" but actually a real firearm? Assume it can fire real amo. Quote
Bryce Posted August 30, 2023 Report Posted August 30, 2023 We have seen this blade before. Cheers, Bryce 1 Quote
