Genuine Kyu Gunto Saya


Recommended Posts

Calling Hamish!!!!

I don't like it at all.

 

Let's start this off by saying I have known of re plating old saya to cover bad corrosion.

 

That aside I think this example is Fisher the old fish souce left out in the sun.

 

The drag is very out of shape, dosnt look natural with a poor appearance and ugly finishing lines on the back of the saya.

 

The koiguchi looks suspect to the inside of the throat, maybe modified.

 

The ashi is just wrong, I have never seen a first hanger notched so it can be removed. It could be a 2nd ashi that has been modified to suit a rebuild.

 

 

Ok, just from what I can see on my phone, yes phone sized screen.

 

I think at best it's a bastardised rechromed says as it shows signs of age to the wood liner.

 

 

BBUTTTT. IMHO I'm leaning toward modern
