    Thoughts please?

    Andy a light back and forth with a lightly oiled cloth is all you want to do, dont think youll find a mei as it was longer at one time imho. holding the blade at a angle to a light bulb should show a hamon see if it turns back in the kissaki.
  10. Aoi is also known for flipping pix. i have not looked at this one to see if that the case.
  11. Not all togi make the same size windows, Joe in the latter photos one can see where the window ends. I think he used the full length of the the stone. I'm not a fan of Hadori but done right it can be brilliant.
  12. always like moon tsuba, need closer up mei for me think i see Shigemitsu?
  13. per bablecod The only foolish person the lap does this. You are foolish
  14. hope a newbie dont read it and take the ito apart on his new treasure
  15. Jason so many books before you get something like that.
  16. i agree and think youd be very happy with it when you do.
  17. i always start with 1925 saves on the math good work on the mei
  18. Dave i think Simon was talking about the patina being removed a bit, the stroks look fine to me. the blades work should be thought of also.
  19. still think he put the price in, in yen.
