    blade shape

    Stephen replied to Mark C's topic in Nihonto

    Nagamaki naoshi (remodeled nagamaki) is the term used for a blade that has been reshaped into a katana or wakizashi, thus altering its original length and curvature ...from the Connoisseur's book of Japanese swords. by Kokan Nagayama

    very interesting, I was wondering back when a Oshigata was drawn if the person doing so had to do it just dead on or did he stand a chance of losing ones head if it was off on the stroke, a question put to me about Shinto Bengi Oshigata.

    the blade has a nice sori and much better than chinese copy kissaki, it may have been made in Nippon, at least is better than the really junky Crappers on ebay.

    for Hitatsura for something other than full temper in my mind I came across this site..its new to me as I seldom look for other than true Nihonto, Walters swords might not fit in this board thread but I'm giving the link for a few min. of some interesting stuff to look at with the oouu and aaahhh factor. http://www.waltersorrells.com/blades/new.htm Ken thanks for the address, its for a blade to have polished, did he study under Bob Benson in Hawaii

    help with katana

    Stephen replied to waynes's topic in Nihonto

    we really can not tell much from the pix posted, reduced way to far down. from the large photo it still looks like a very good start. Close ups of the the Nakago will help. if youd like to send them to me ill play around with them.
  21. Stephen
    of the board as this is what we like to see true Nihonto, ill check around but don't think I've seen and Bizen Sukesada with this on the Nakago, anyone else out there???
  22. Stephen
    I can understand your frustration on the matter, but feel its time to post elsewhere on this and bring the board back to true discussion of Nihonto. Let's please let this one go for now, as everything that can be said has been said.

    Kyo or Kyo

    Stephen replied to Rich T's topic in Tosogu

    with John on this, snowflakes of my childhood was very visible to the eye, maybe Nigel is not from snow country, with this next storm coming in ill try for a shot or two to see if it will photo.
  24. Stephen

  25. Stephen
