@Tony, I don't know why you are laughing. Chris asked: what is the horn typically made from? Water buffalo. What's so funny? Please explain.
-
Water Buffalo.

Hard to tell from the supplied pictures. Black material most likely made of horn.

The burning damage of the saya can also be the result of a so-called tracer bullet. Sometimes the tracer ammunition is still burning after impact. The total damage of the blade by a bullet hit also depends on the angle and the distance.

Rohan, That's an interesting thought! Or maybe he was bald and a kogai was no longer needed :-) Regards, Ed

Thanks Barry! I never tought that there where so many shinto smiths with a title. Do you have a link to the shoshin website? Thanks in advance. Ed

Hi Michael, thanks for your offer. I was more wondering about the fact that a sword buyer paid more for a sword made by a sword smith and his title. The title has nothing to do with the quality of the blade. Maybe it comparable with todays phones. You pay for the hype.
-
Hi to all, Many Shinto smiths adopted the custom of adding a title to their signature. Smiths put great efforts to acquire titles, since these increases the price of their blades. Is the addition of a title still seen as something that adds value to the blade, today. Do you guys pay extra? Ed
