Nice list of dealers, many of them very high end.

 

I think there was one bit of misinformation in the article. Authentic Japanese sword do NOT need NBTHK authentication to be considered as authentic.

Sokendo doesn't actually have an online inventory do they?  As far as I can tell I've clicked every link on the Japanese and English sites.

Very helpful post. Interesting that the article states AOI's "online selection is not the greatest at the moment", but it seems that AOI typically has as many or more items listed for sale online than any of the other sites on the list.
