First got my hands on my first nihonto, all thanks to Nick over at Nihontoart.com.

 

Nick is a definitely trustworthy seller who answered all of my questions. He was quick with sending my item and even gave me a cleaning kit for free. 
 

I haven’t had the chance to take good photos of my Odachi but here is the link to it.

it is definitely an amazing feeling to get my first nihonto.

I have known and purchased swords from Nick for over 15 years and he is the best.  His blades are all unique and while maybe not the big names are certainly of a quality not seen very often and all are papered. It is a pleasure to deal with him and his access to Nihonto during his annual trips to Japan is amazing and you can be assured of something of top quality, rare and beautiful pieces.

 

Highly recommend him and if you ARE looking for something special let him know - for example - see the amazing Muramasa on his website Nihontoart.com !

What a remarkable sword, congratulations. One can only hope that you have high ceilings...

Haha that’s what my wife was worried about too! But thank God it’s high enough.

Very interesting choice for a ‘first’, but unique and very well done.  Seems you took the advice to study first and know what & why you want what you want. Very well done indeed.

I did smack a hole in my kitchen ceiling with my Bokken…my wife was really not happy with me….lucky I don’t wave my Nihonto around in the same way…..
