Shobu Zukuri Yasunori (fake?)


Recommended Posts

Hi, 

i got that shobu zukuri Katana that i bought only for the shobu zukuri style.

When i recieved the Katana i had no informations about it and after i was checking it i translate the mei "Yasunori".

After i did some google research i found out many things about yasukuni-to and Yasunori. Now im not sure what to think.

 

Nagasa: 71cm

Nakago: 24cm

Moto haba: 3,26cm

Moto gasane: 0.82cm

saki gasane: 0,6cm

Sori: 1,5cm

 

I have only my phone to take photos, i hope thats ok and you guys can help me :)

yea ok, i have read now every thread about komonji but the mate who bought it for me got it on ebay from someone like komonji or another account i found him yesterday on ebay "w12w2" or something. (found him in the komonji threads not sure someone said it is another account of komonji).

 

In the threads i found no 100% prove of where they really come from ? 

 

Ok some other questions i have for my Nihonto progress, the hamon and the activitys and hada are real ?

These fakes are generally sold as bare blades which should be a cautionary clue to the uninitiated. Many of them have good gendai swordsmiths names inscribed and the nakagos all look like they were artificially colored by the same hand.

Hi, i spend my Free time the last week to Craft a habaki for the Blade. I finished the fitting and just wanna share some pics if thats ok :) ofc i only used traditional tools. (if modern files are traditional :D) 

I used a zink-silver alloy for the welding and had to do it twice after the first one Opend while fitting.

As u can see its a copper Habaki but if im happy with the final result i will gold foil it. :) 

The last step will be the Polish and maybe adding some classic Habaki pattern.

Im not doing anything like that professional and everything i know i learend in books and the Internet and some youtube videos, so i hope its ok and i dont break any rule of nihonto collecting ?

Just wanna post an update :)

I added some stripes and tried to gold foil it but i think that will need some little fixes after i got more gold :D (maybe i will get some real 0,02mm foil instead of the leaf gold in 24karat)

Also i made some more Pictures of the blade i want to share.
