    Hello everybody, I need some help with translating the following mei. The date, if I’m correct is Taisho Ni Nen Roku Gatsu Hi. A day in June 1913. The signature is way too difficult for me. The only thing I know it ends with Saku. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Ed

    Hi Chris, sure it doesn't look like a tanto but I always thought it was determined by length. There's a lot to learn. Thanks for the clarification. Best regards, Ed

    Maybe a stupid question but why don't we call this a tanto. The nagasa is 26cm. I thought that everything under 30cm makes it a tanto.

    I had never seen the retaining lanyard before. Is it restricted for Kai-gunto use only? Thanks for sharing! Best regards, Ed

    If the mekugi-ana is larger than the hole in the Tsuka you never get a secure fit. Maybe that's why they used the glue.
  16. EdWolf
    Worst case the Tsuka is glued to the nakago.

    Congratulations Pete! That's a very attractive set. Regards, Ed

    It's just a number 131. It's used for keeping parts together during production of the sword. Regards Ed

    Franco, Thanks for your explanation! Makes sense! Best regards, Ed

    I was also inspired by Ray and his stunning photographs. I have tried but the results are a bit disappointing. Need more practice.

    Sorry Franco but I don't understand what you mean. Can you please explain? Best regards, Ed

    and another picture of the kashira.
  23. EdWolf
    Hi Ken, Thanks for your reply! The ko-wakizashi is fully mounted and the kashira is made of horn. So not matching but still a nice set. See attached photo. Sorry not the best picture. It's was taken on a very cloudy day with not much daylight. Best regards, Ed
