mizuta Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Kanehisa wakizashi for auction was signed suriage koto blade with gnome hamon no bad problems some ware.In part samurai part gunto mounts . Wakizashi with battle wrap tsuka was O suriage koto with wide gnome hamon and very healthy boshi sue mino i think. It had some strange spacers on the habaki but the patina looked same as habaki so i thinh thay were original. Katana was listed as shinshinto or later blade with hamon not visable becouse of poor war time polish had a very bad Kesho polish which was of ww2 or earler as i was the first to remove the handle i think since ww2 as i had to bash it off.so do not think it was a collectors polish.Not flash but origanal Japanese ( i thought about robing the minuki )But i did not best part of the sword.I like swords to remain ubu even if not jojo saku. These are not top end itoms but not low class s**t. I know mino swords are not highly thought after . But from koto to still be around must have some good points. Pictures can be posted if reguired every thing was stated in auction if you can not read or under stand do not bid Regards Bernard Nothing agenst the chat group you do a great job but i think we need to think before coment on sale itoms.

kusunokimasahige Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 This poster is highly likely the person who wrote the angry message to Jason(gtstcactus), see his thank you thread. KM Quote
John A Stuart Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 I read the first post and thought it was a for sale post, so, I moved it. I am afraid I don't understand some of it very well. The original poster, I see, says these are not for sale, so, am moving it back to the Nihonto section and hope it resolves meaning soon. John Quote
Brian Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 And I'm moving it to General Discussion where I think it belongs. Bernard, you know that the discussions happened after the auctions had closed. And even if they hadn't, it would have made no difference. Stand by what you sell. I personally think they were overpriced and mediocre. That is my opinion and I stand by it. There are lots of Koto around that are not worth much study. However if you don't want potential buyers to seek other opinions, then you shouldn't be selling them or should seek other sales avenues. I myself said that the one sword looked interesting and worth checking out. Expecting people not to comment on swords is unrealistic and unlikely to ever happen. We are trying to promote the study of Japanese swords as art. That means educating people to look for items that are above mediocre. Sorry, but I stand by what was posted, especially since no-one was aware at the time that they had been on auction. Brian Quote
