You probably already know the motto and the inscription are associated with Ferdinand and Isabella. The original was used for formal ceremonies including the knighting of Christopher Columbus.A friend recently acquired this sword and is looking for a place to have it appraised, any help?
It’s a 15th century Spanish knighting sword.

Handle wrapping, looks like the cord and rayskin is missing from the tang. I could be missing it.

Quality nihonto are often never mounted in anything more than a "white scabbard" resting case or shirasaya in order to preserve them.

Oh I see you are referring to is what’s called Koshirae
and this sword never had one fitted as far as I know

Yes and actually I has a new shirasaya fitted as well because the original one pictured is old and fits a bit tight
It was polished by Aoijapan. They have a website aoijapan.com

Thanks, yes it's up there. I guess the market sets the price but it's a little high IMHO.
Yeah, got me at a weak moment. Maybe too much to spend on something that probably won't ever be used but my wife's money demands to be spent.
Spine is about 3.25mm thick. It is a very slim package. A bit smaller than I expected overall, but really well put together.

Sweet baby jesus, I just googled that thing. Is the blade made of adamantium?
You'd think so eh? Lots of Hype. Easily worth $500, maybe more. $900+, not so sure, but what do I know?
So the MSRP is not the street price? Looking at the photos, is it a laminate steel, or just how they fashioned the blade?

Yes, that's the street price. Unless you find one in stock somewhere you can get on a lottery system from Grimsmo directly. These are not discounted anywhere as it seems demand is greater than supply.
Grimsmo has a Youtube channel which is pretty interesting. They make everything in house, including the bearings. They have 2 models, the Norseman and the Rask AFAIK.
Not laminate, those lines are CNC'd in.

Grimsmo Norseman. Now need to hide it from my wife before she starts asking questions.
Did she find it? That looks exactly like the one that is up for sale on BladeForms!
Nice piece though, I've been watching John since his early YouTube days and KMT series. Truly a 'started a company in my garage' effort with a product to be extremely proud of.
No, truth be told she probably wouldn't bat an eye, but why try it, right?
I like it but I keep seeing other blades I like also and thinking, "I could buy 3 of those for this one."
