  2. Kanetoshi ? Looks to be wwII blade.
  3. Hi all. How many of these do people think were made/sold after the war ?
  4. Hi all, My kai gunto with a koto sukesada blade has aluminium seppa! The larger ones look like they are stamped ?

    Orikaeshi mei

    Hi all. Just wondering peoples opinions on orikaeshi mei? Was it done on swords considered to be worthwhile as it seems like a lot of work to go through just for an ordinary blade ? I now understand why my nakago looks like it does after reading this article as a bizen sukesada nakago I would expect to be a bit wider/stumpy? http://www.ksky.ne.jp/~sumie99/suriage.html Is it possible that the rest of this mei may have been shaved off as described in the above article? I have done a fair bit of searching and there are not too many niju mei SUKESDA around?
  9. This one with niju mei unless they shaved the rest off when re shaping the nakago !
  10. I’ll have a go. Hatakeyama yamato ? Masa mitsu. the date is tensho 1573 - 1592 Chris.
  11. Looks like what we call fiddleback. Comes from the base of a tree that over a long time the weight compresses the tree into these wavy patterns. Dressed in our hardwoods here looks very nice. Lovely shira saya btw!
  12. Hi all. On a tanto of mine! Appears to be thin leather.
  13. Thanks all. Interesting. You can’t bank on standard in this game! My main thought in the difference between the two was that the flat wrap was a cheaper easier/quicker way to do it than the twisted one? Don’t know if that is true or not? Chris.
