The Japanese soldier are the filament for the emperor. The supply is going to infinity. https://www.kurabo.co.jp/english/kurabo-history/ Maybe that was from textile machinery?
-
its not mine.
-
Found on Facebook When you change the color to black & white it looks like some nco on old photos
-
Bruce there is no hamon because it is full tempered. The temper line is only there because the material is thiner on the cutting edge and cool down faster after quenching in oil.
-
Vitaly thats a nice one. Jean point it out.
-
You are right. Its fake. Like my first intention was that the sword is fake i changed it after your last picture and i was total wrong. Good picture from a nice Iijama sword. You see the Menuki positiv in sharp line. The nanako ist clear and sharp. The stamps are clear and sharp and every detail is seen on every part. All looks solid - not blury. And one point more. The cherry blossom leavs on the fuchi. I don't know why i have overseen that all. Beginning Dementia?
-
Its indeed a minefieled Can we give that to the Typ 95 Fake section. Is that fuchi iron or something else?
-
Yes Kyle, all is correct on this sword.
-
Kyle the stamps on the fuchi looks good for me. Hmm, The clipper looks correct too on the picture. Its made from forged Iron. I think now the sword is genuine. Sorry for confusing you. But good pictures are allways needed. The nanako looks not inverse now on the last picture you share.
-
The sword looks genuine now with the later pictures. So i edited this post.
-
Looks like a replica in bad shape. Edit: I must revese it now the sword looks authentic.

Thanks Trystan but the kind of hamon (notatre, gunome, suguba or something else) isn't the question. I can't see any signs of ara-nie in the pictures.
-
I dont know Bruce. Thats why i ask Trystan if he had ara-nie seen on his mantetsu. Btw it doesn't matter which kind of hamon. Martensit only grows in high carbon steel. I was thinking that ara-nie needs water quenched. But i found a picture of a chinese T-10 (selfmade Tamahagene) which has ara-nie too. And this sword is not hardned in water. But i think that mantetsu from facebook was water hardned. Yes i think it was traditional made. (T-10 chinese replica with ara-nie)

Young knotweed looks similar and it is often eaten in Japan. But the blossoms have five leaves not four. Young knotweed looks total different from mature plants. I think it is knotweed.
-
wasabi didn't have knots like on the tsuba shown.
-
Ara nie is a sign of tamahagene, hardned in water. On koto blades some said it is a sign of uncontrolled heat und a ugly thing that indicates lower quality and value. Ara nie on Gendaito is often seen and a proof of nihonto. I found ara nie most attractive. But i dont know why it is on a mantetsu blade? Martensit isn't build in oil and not on industrial steel.
-
Trystan did you sie ara-nie (martensit crystals) in the hamon in yours?
-
Ara-nie on a mantetsu blade. Very nice. (source: facebook)
-
I don't think at all that every tsuba with a cogwheel design is a christian symbol.

Biographical information on Willis M. Hawley

I saw a photo from him where he looks like the real indiana jones between all the old stuff in a brown leather jacket and a hat. I didn't find it and have it not saved on pc. Maybe another has it. -
Is that the same as Yakinaoshi Jean?
-
Strange shape for a tachi in my eyes. Looks "krum"
-
This picture is better for looking on the shape. Nagasa 56 cm - really? Looks like a boys tachi or something else. Looks a little bit curious in my eyes but I'm not very good in such things so please forgive me when I'm wrong.

It looks curious but not beautifull for me. Sorry.
