Hi dojikiri, maybe a picture. Love to see it.
-
Thanks to all for your replies! Best regards, Ed

Thanks for your reply Raymond. I must admit that the black finish looks great.

Shakudo contains a small amount of gold (4%). How can this be a bad sign? Or am I missing something?
-
Thanks for the replies. Why is a shakudo Habaki a bad sign. Doesn't make sense to me. Best regards, Ed
-
Hi to all. Just a short question? Is this a copper Habaki which is coated with shakudo or is it something else? Thanks in advance for your reply. Best regards, Ed

Hi Ken, Muromachi was my impression too. The spacing between the mekugi Ana is relatively large, so the original blade length was above 70 cm for sure. I don't even think that the lowest mekugi ana is the original mekugi ana. I think it's lost when the blade was shortened. I have read several threads about taking pictures of blades but in reality it's not that easy. Thanks a lot for your reply. I really appreciate it! Best regards, Ed

Two pictures of the bare blade. Hopefully the quality is good enough. Taking pictures of the blade is the hardest thing to do. The auto focus is not working properly and my hands are not steady enough for manual focus. If other pictures are required, please let me know. Best regards, Ed

and some more pictures. Best regards, Ed

Hi to all, Last week I have purchased a nice blade. The nagasa is 61.5 cm long so I think we can call it a katana. The blade has a nice curvature. The blade is unsigned. Probably lost caused by shortening the blade? I have tried to take some good images. Hope you like it. Feel free to comment. Best regards, Ed

Strange blade. Why are the ha-machi and the mune-machi not in line?

I have found this interesting article about swords presented to dutch people after the war: https://javapost.nl/2014/03/24/de-waarde-van-een-zwaard/ It's in Dutch but the site translate option of Google Chrome will help. Best regards, Ed

Stephen, I know but was afraid he would ruin the sword. My English writing is not good enough to explain how to proceed. Best regards, Ed -
Ww2 Japanese Sword Identification

Welcome, First of all, don't clean the tang. Before you go any further, read this first. http://www.nbthk-ab.org/Etiquette.htm Best regards, Ed -
Hi to all, I’m doing some research and I’m looking for pictures of swords made by a sword smith called Ujikumo. All I know is that he was active in the Kanei era (1624-1644) and living in the Owari province. His teacher was Ujifusa (2nd generation). I have searched the internet and this forum, but I can’t find any swords made by him. Also all other information will be highly appreciated. Best regards, Ed
