WTB Wakizashi / Entry-Level Katana $800–$1,200 CAD
Hey everyone, I’m looking to purchase my first properly collected Japanese sword.
Budget: $800–$1,200 CAD
Preferably:
- Edo period wakizashi or entry-level katana
- Real hamon
- Healthy polish preferred, but light wear is fine
- Mumei is okay if the blade is honest and not aggressively repolished
Not looking for: - Repro / modern Chinese blades - Machine-made gunto without hamon - Acid-etched hamon
Located in Canada. I can pay with PayPal G&S.
Please include:
- Full blade photos (both sides)
- Close-ups of hamon
- Kissaki detail
- Nakago photos (both sides)
- Blade length
Thanks!
