  1. Hi Everybody, Collected this sword years ago as part of a swap deal. I have no idea what it is. Any ideas ? Thanks Gwyn
  2. I'm no expert, but for me alarm bells are.. "Why have a shirasaya (usually specially made to preserve a blade after a really expensive polish) on something that is in really bad condition. Kissaki and Yokote scream out at me also. Bit then again = "An estate sale"... could it have deteriorated this much due to neglect? Would welcome comments from others if I am barking up the wrong tree. Thanks Gwyn
  3. Thanks Guy's
  4. Hi Stephen, l can’t dye it black because menuki l want to use are already black. Here is pic.
  5. Hi, I'm looking for some advice here. I have an old Tanto that I am working on and the same is good quality but alas it is stained with brown dirt etc in patches. Ideally, I would like to clean up and retain this piece of same on the tsuka. I have already tried a toothbrush with soap and water, Cif and even Domestos BLEACH ! No luck. Any ideas ? Gwyn
  6. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
  7. is it cut with a dremmell tool ?
  8. My thanks to Mark C (Bucks) for being an absolute star. First fitting
  9. Hi Everybody, Working on a restoration at the moment. Can anybody please tell me if there is any rule about how much the Kozuka tip should stand proud the other side of the tsuba when in the saya and through the Hitsu Ana ? Thanks Gwyn

  11. Excellent idea - Would be very interesting. Here's a Tsuka I did a while back.
  12. Mark - You are an absolute STAR...
  13. Hi Everyone, Anybody have any idea where I can get a small piece of horn to whittle myself a replacement Koi Guchi for a restoration project? (Preferably U.K.?) Thanks Gwyn
  14. OMG - George... I find this very interesting... Is there an explanation ? Legend ?
  15. That’s where l was going with this also, thanks John. I have an old iaito and the cosmetic hamon is wearing away at the monouchi.
  16. Very sad indeed. Thanks for the "heads up" Vaughan.
  17. Des it run the length of the blade ? On both sides ?

  19. If you visit his facebook page you will see him discuss problems with his orders from supplier and delivery service. Also states problems with messaging. I had dealings with him in the past and it was all O.K. Bought a katana from him and had restorations done to various swords l had. I also know he moved house.
  20. Hi Guy's, Does this help ? I also have a Kanetsuna Gunto. (Or do I ? ) Gwyn
  21. To use a Karate term... "Ossssss"
