Gerry Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 https://www.jauce.com/auction/h1174332059 This odachi is getting a fair amount of bids. Swords of this length don't show up too often on Yahoo Japan, but the nakago oxidation and pitting looks a little off to me. What do you all think? Quote

lonely panet Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 something about the hada looks like gendai???? or am a idiot Quote
Yumso Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 I've seen some nihontos that have bubblely nakago just like that at Yahoo Auction but is it... I don't know, normal? Quote
Gerry Posted February 27 Author Report Posted February 27 Ha ha...ah, seeing the feedback left on the other thread, I'm not the only one seeing red flags for this auction. Quote
Francis Wick Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 Obviously a modern blade ( possibly not even traditionally forged and water quenched ) , with alterations to the behaviour to try and make it look old. The other possibility is an older nshago welded in to a modern blade. In either case it’s not old and not worth much in my opinion Quote
Tohagi Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 Quite a bold guess IMO... Personnaly, even if it is shinshinto utsushi made to delude some fools...it's a superb blade. Quote
