Featured Attainable wish list for the year ahead............................c/s0

Some know i've been playing the jaw dropping ghost of yotei over crimbo

and its kind of awakened a passion for something in particular

guess there will be some that would be considered attainable (as long as its got some kind of age or decent enough quality) (doesn't have to be fancy either)

and would almost prefer one that wasn't full size (if theres a thing).........cuter

anybody ever had one ?, or advice ? or is there something else on yer list?

o...........and its not the musical instrument either

 

The katana?

Maybe a tanto, a samurai knife (if you mean the katana).

 

Aha that sounds velly interesting indeedy (shall have a looky)

 

maybe a bit longer (they look awful stumpy)

 

maybe

 

Beautiful blades Sir !
BTW-Now I know what 'Crimbo' means-finally got off my yank butt & googled it. Thanks for motivating me Chas.
PS-A while back I was reading a conversation between Chas and BoudiccaJones, understood about half of it and researched the lingo the way I did reading Clockwork Orange-voila comprendo !
PSS- OBB knows some pretty good London slanguage too.

 

I once had a wakizashi in my hand..old and clean.... but he wouldn't sell it to me !!

 

yeah i do like the proportions better with them kome, just been reading and think they were more like a second closer combat ting

 

suppose it was more of a ching ching (held ching) have some of this with the other hand........stab

 

my take ....like a GI...
rifle , side arm , combat knife....

 

I admit, I had to google Crimbo too. It's not in use here either. I can usually understand British slang, but have to admit Aussie can be a problem.

 

Love learning new things-this place keeps me awake and learns me in a quite pleasant way !
PS-The Wakizashi looks a lot more manageable than a full-size blade.

 

2 hands , on the Katana !

 

both hands off my Wakizashi

something pretty darn nice like this has a $500-800 estimate, so while a good few bucks........kinda attainable.........(with a bitta hard work thrown in)

Sold at Auction: ANTIQUE JAPANESE SIGNED WAKIZASHI SWORD.

 

theres a cool game (within the game) called zeni hajiki ? don't know if its a real game or not (probably) but great simple fun

 

don't like the blade........... here's a better one...

see i don't think i'd mind a non clean blade (though would be better i'm sure)

handle doesn't look to comfortable on any of them to be honest

 

once u grab it...it sticks..

but really...... it's the blade that's the thing........handles can be swapped out at will... more or less !
the clear wood scabbard's are made for blades that have not yet had the handles made for them...

 

Sounds like an expensive hobby
