    shinken

    I know this is for REAL Japanese swords, but I am wondering If any one can help me with shinken info. I am buying a Paul Chen bushido katana at the recomendation of my sensi for tami cutting. Can anyone tell me about the steel? Its ASSAB-K120C powder steel. Also, how many times the Paul Chen Bushido is folded. Im sure its a fine blade, however I just want to know as much as I can about my PERSONAL blade as I can, and have searched the web BEFORE coming here. I would like your thoughts, and info on the steel, and folds. thank you, respectfully, warhemmi
  2. I purchased a "antique" katana from a chinese dealer.Even thou I think its a fake, It has NONE of the hallmarks of a fake. It is a true differentially tempered, and folded blade, not acid etched, and the grain is tight. The tang is signed, the name (translated at our Japanese cultural center) is Yoshikowa Kojiro. If its not a fake, has anyone heard of of this smith?
