This is a good tale. I've not heard of VOC swords previously and I've been into
Nihonto for about 40 years now. Neat to see and hear the story of something
new. Any more info about this sword appreciated. Is it signed, marked, anything to identify it.
How about some close up pics of the hamon and boshi
for those of us who drool over cool Nihonto (not literally of course - it would
stain the blade :-)
