I haven't bought too much stuff in recent years and after getting this one, I think even less for several upcoming years (unless something unexpected happens)...
Naginata made by Bizen smith Yoshikage and dated to 1389, confirmed with NBTHK Hozon. Naginata bearing a date of pre-1400 are extremely rare and I was not expecting to get a chance to own one. I consider this as a very lucky find for me.

Jussi, that naginata looks absolutely beautiful! Did it come with a habaki and tsuba? Do you have plans to mount it?

Good stuff, as usual, tell me about that Houndskull helmet though! I also own that helmet. It is from MadHammer on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/MadHammer). He is located in the Ukraine though and sadly I do not think can do any work currently. His page hasn't been updated but someone on facebook said his workshop was sadly destroyed. I have only heard that secondhand and it wasn't from the maker himself so I can't say for sure that is the case. ![]()  |

Hopefully you will do a review on it. I have heard good things about the Talwar. |

I do intend to do a review, although unsure when as of yet.

It's a shame about the communication but it certainly looks like the wait was worth it. Beautiful sword.

Here's an Albion Knight I owned, then sold back, then bought back, and now sports a nice set of clover cross pommel markers from Brian at DBK. This is Albion's red grip with an original Albion scabbard, which I suppose are rather few and far between. I really like how snug and secure this sword sits in its scabbard. |
