I love all those tombstone silvers! I wanta get some.
That knife is cool too. Unfortunately it's just a hair too long—it'd be illegal here, making it a nono for me. With the Japanese police more than happy to search foreigner homes and the courts always looking the other way, it wouldn't be worth it for me to even have at home. Nice to look at though!
My legendary liberal government loves to make laws, especially nonsensical ones that we know the far majority are law abiding except for the gangs and career criminals. 2.42 inches too long? How about these? Would I be arrested in Japan for open carry a 40 inch Ninjatu? 40 inch Katana? 30 inch Wakazashi? I would get stopped and questioned for carrying a possible weapon wrapped in a silk cozy onto a bus.
BTW, Eishin Ryu style of Iaido is taught here at the University of British Columbia. I was hoping there would be a class taught closer like Burnaby at the Nekkai Centre for me. I do have a set of wood Bokken too.
Good luck getting a MPM Tombstone bar @dbooster

Unfortunately. They are incredibly strict here. Various sharpened swords are allowed in certain cases (pretty much only for martial arts or swordsmiths) but you have to be licensed and have to have it renewed yearly. Tons of red tape. For everyone else, nope, not allowed.
A bloody license.
This could keep me from acquiring an accreditation with my solo study of Katori Shinto Ryu.
I can imagine that even an expert Sushi chef must annually register his kitchen knives.
