I collect and preserve ANTIQUE Japanese swords. If you have a Japanese sword or swords and wish to know about them, I can help you understand what you have. If the sword or swords are unimportant to you, I would appreciate the opportunity to examine and to perhaps make a purchase.
NOTE: Never touch the blade of a real Japanese sword. It is not only because it may be extremely sharp, but because one's fingers have acidic oils and touching it will cause the blade to quickly rust. Never clean the tang of a Japanese sword. Treat the blade with respect.
