Masterpiece

Well, I'll be damned if I leave info on FB to waste away, so I am sure that @Andrew Ickeringill and @Adrian S won't mind if I blatantly plagiarize their posts and share the info here.
Very happy to see that the sword that Adrian "discovered" a few years ago that eventually went Juyo to Go Yoshihiro, has now passed Toku Juyo. Wow...what an incredible find and story. And what a high praise for Andrew and his polishing. This is a masterpiece and a proud moment for both owner and togishi. Well done to both, I am sure we all share in your achievement, with a little jealousy thrown in

Are there any links to the story of the "discovery" and process of papering this blade? 

 

This is amazing and I'd love to hear more about the process. 

 

Wow!

I believe Adrian bought the sword, from a collector in Tassie.  It came in a Gunto mount.

For once, we can see a sword of this caliber on the forum. It's a change from what we usually see.

I think there are excellent blades among some of the members here
The problem is that people are not willing to share their treasures with others
