This morning, we received a phone call from a lady who was dealing & selling authentic Japanese swords. First she was asking me if we bought/sold these kind of swords. ”From time to time”: I told her “so if you have something, you can always contact me”.
At present we don’t sell these things ‘public’ but when a customer ask about it we start searching..in the future we’re planning to open a new category on the site with real authentic Japanese swords.
Back to the little ‘story’…Before we arranged an appointment , I asked her what was the average price of her Japanese swords. To be honest I didn’t expect a cheap price for these but her “between 19.000 – 120.000 euro” answer knocked me off
. For their lowest price we can buy 2-3 very nice nihonto in Japan…Sure you have swords on the market with that value but that’s a whole different market than the one we’re in. I don’t think any Japanese martial artist is going to buy a € 20.000 sword from us to practise some tameshigiri. In case some people are interested, drop me a line…we can work something out for you.
Yesterday I went outside again to shoot some pics and I took a Battle ready Katana, the Momo No Saru katana to be more specific. It was hard to make good pictures because the sun was hiding behind clouds now and then. The other swords I took with me, the Bushido and the Wind&Thunder katana couldn’t show their beauty because soon after I finished the Momo, it start raining…damn country here
I still try to post the pics of the Momo and the Nagamaki before Sunday…promised…
