These swords are not for sale. Please see the for sale page if interested in purchasing a sword.
I will continually update this section and add
swords that appear to be genuine swords
that have certificates from respected organizations or persons. If a
sword is not papered and is
not yet certified as genuine I will post that the sword is still under
examination. The
NTHK (Nihon To Ken Hozon Kai) under the Yoshikawa family
and the NBTHK (Nihon To Ken Bijitsu Kai) the sword museum are the two main
organizations in
Japan that certify swords as genuine. Most of the swords in this section
I have personally polished or made shirasaya for them, but some I may add to
the gallery just for my records.
I hope that this gallery will grow quickly. In the past all of
my records of swords that I have polished were
made in Oshigata. Digital photography and the internet have made it
possible to also keep records
of the Hada and Hamon, but Oshigata should still not be overlooked
as a very good way of keeping records and studying.
