    Default Nihonto/Katana web sites

    I was just surfin the web...as the story usually goes...and found this site: http://www.jpsword.com/

    I'm not an expert, but I found this site interesting nonetheless,
    like the history section of the swordsmith Masamune

    Nice! Masamune is one of those names you keep hearing over and over again concerning swords so it's always fun to learn more.

    Alot of interesting books on the site...Like this one:
    Item #
    B-6

    Price
    USD
    $5,000.00

    Nihonto Taikan

    This large 7 volume set is the pinnacle of nihonto references. This highly regarded and sought after reference set contains 3 Koto volumes, 2 Shinto volumes, 1 Shin-Shinto volume and 1 kodogu volume.
    shipping weight 80lbs.
    Quite expensive though.

    Hi all,

    I have a YouTube channel with a lot of Japanese blades.
    www.youtube.com/c/NihontoEurope

    Every movie are divided into 3 sections:
    1. The blade
    2. Information about the alleged smith/school
    3. Details of the blade and other nice to know things

    As I'm writing this there are more than 200 swords filmed and there are more to come as I'm filming my whole collection.

    I'm also on Facebook with the same name. I post reference images there to support the videos, but also people who approach me for assistance.

    Cheers!

    Martin
    Best wishes
