I know some guys here are interested in Japanese traditional blademaking.
This is my Katate-uchi sword from around 1520 made by the swordsmith Kanemoto.
The fittings are later (Meiji) which is very common.
The sword shows small scars on the spine from battle.
This blows my mind, that I own a 500 year old sword that was carried and used by a Samurai in battle.
For all you collectors out there that need a DEEP rabbit hole to go down, Nihonto (old Japanese swords) is it.
You can spend from used Honda money to New Porsche money here......
