Hola

 

christmas deal

 

28 1/4” nagasa. Healthy and in great polish barring one 6” superficial surface scratch above the shinogi. No other cosmetic flaws whatsoever. Outstanding study piece attributed to later generation Kanemoto which has been questioned by the majority of the experts in the field in the US and few of my friends who are dealing from Japan, stating more similar to Kanenobu. Be it as it may I’m giving it away as Kanemoto. Outstanding ji nie throughout but extremely dense in the monouchi area, outstanding hamon and good boshi!

 

i think $2000 is more than reasonable for such a long blade (28 1/4” after suriage) plus overnight shipping

 

accepting most payment methods.

 

thank you

 

p.s will provide detailed measurements later on today/tonight. Selling to fund my medical intervention.

Not bad, if there was a starter blade I would think this could be one.

Tons of study time there.

I have seen considerably inferior blades sell for $1300. Why is this one not worthy the price considering its nagasa and jitetsu?

nobody buying blades anymore, just papers/numbers it seems 

oh well

This is really a killer deal, and I am amazed it has not yet sold. 

Someone better buy this before my willpower subsides 

Really nice looking sword,

Anyone wanting it free?

I'd never turn down free, and it does look like a lovely blade. So let me know if you're giving it away to clear out space

 

Otherwise unfortunately I'm holding funds for an option along another line, but have to say if I wasn't trying to be quite so particular I would have messaged already!

It is really very beautiful, unfortunately being in Europe, as usual the taxes will weigh down the bill.

It's really a shame.

Could you give us his sori also please?

The NTHK worksheet lists it as 4 bu (a hair over 1.2cm).

Thank you

as I mentioned I’m originally from there. I still ship items to family and friends and they do not pay those taxes. I’m not going to disclose how but there are legal technicalities to avoid that.

 

with that said - $1600

 

thank you again
