New question on basic blade types. 1) I see them with and without blade groves. Does this feature have significance as to age and value? 2) At the tip I see some that have a change in "plane" or facet along the Ha (sharp edge?) whereby there is a profile "break" @ the tip. Is this a katana shape? And some blades maintain the same edge plane all the way to the tip. Does this have significance? 3) Can anyone recommend a basic resource text, book, website I can start with. thanx for the help |

Hello All |

hi |

Hello everyone, first time poster, first time collector! I'm looking to gather maybe 3 to 5 swords to mount in my home office and would like ones from differing time periods from Japan. I've always been intrigued by Japanese culture, taking Judo classes for some time and just recently adopting a Kai-Ken puppy with my girlfriend. Now before I get too far off topic I'd like to see if anyone here can expand on a sword I've been following on GunBroker. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=309083740 |

Hello everyone! First, my apologies for what seem even to me to be an embarrassingly simple question. I've spent the last couple of years reading up and saving up for my first purchase. I'm not financially ready yet but soon. :) |

There appears to be a deafening silence on the discussion side here so thought maybe a few people might kick this idea around of what your likes and preferences are as far as Japanese swords are concerned and do you have any not so favourite things (in my case blingy tosogu). |

Hello I would like to ask for some assistance in confirming the translation of this Wakizashi. This was a long awaited gift and would like to research it full history. Thanks Shad |

Good day, I rather lucked into this two volume set, they are gorgeous, but a bit beyond my humble needs. It would seem they would be better appreciated and would find better use among the members of this site. If anyone could give me an idea of what a fair price for this would be, it would be much appreciated. Cheers! |
