WOW just downloaded the .pdf file .. so nice of you to post it. The file marks and chisel signature are art on their own .. your close-ups are a joy to behold .. I’m printing page 8/32 ‘The Soul of Japan’ .. for some reason it brings me to tears .. it just embodies ‘IT’. Thanks again......

月山貞勝の姿·鍛え·刃文も素晴らしい脇差ですね✨ 　加えてハバキ元から切先迄の見事な刀身彫りも抜群の見事さで、奉納刀か特別な別注打ちの様ですね

Great it

As a former hand engraver, If you have any close up pics of the work, it would be good to see them

[@PabloKuntz]

Hey Emma, that's cool to know about hand engraving. Have a look at the PDF that we made on this sword, I think you'll appreciate it: new.uniquejapan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/ujwa244-A-Gassan-Sadakazu-Masterpiece-Wakizashi-Description-from-Unique-Japan.pdf

[@emmaevans9498]

@@PabloKuntz cheers for posting that, proper interesting (to me anyway!) I know the best machine engravers with diamond tip cutters that can't do that kind of fine, intricate work on steel without leaving burr behind. And to not damage the integrity of the metal being as it's cut so deep, pretty incredible skills this man had

[@marveen6372]

Words can’t describe how beautiful this sword is how sharp is this blade? Also how much did you sell this for ?

[@PabloKuntz]

Thank you very much Marveen, selling prices are private but it was more than 10M yen.

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

Absolutely gorgeous sword, the closeup pictures in the .pdf are yet more breathtaking, I can only imagine what it's like in person. Does it have a full grip and hilt (I forgot the terms), or is it just a blade in a shirasaya?

[@michaeldellinger8481]

What got you into learning about the Japanese Samurai sword in the samurai of the old age of Japan

[@MrLarrana]

I own one of his swords made in Meji's 5th year. August 1872 on a lucky day. I wish I could post pictures. It was made for an officer in military, and his name is on it. It's a Katana. But that's nice!

[@DefMettle]

wow.. thats pretty. very cool!

When I read the name Gassan Sadakazu in connection with seeing the blade, I remembered that my favorite sword and koshirae was made by the same man.

I can’t believe how emotional get each and every time this thumbnail passes by (and it does a lot). A bit embarrassing really! I forge “Japanese style swords” and been studying martial arts since 1983. So I get what it is. Hmmmm❤ it’s so hard to tell if it’s Hira or Shobu.. pretty sure Hira zukuri
