    Stephen, not barking. Just a warning. Sorry if my writing style is wrong.

    Wipe the fingerprints and oil the blade!

    Hi Bjorn, The kissaki is poorly shaped. The fukura and ko-shinogi don't run parallel. Reshaped and that's why the hamon is lost or parts of the hamon are lost.

    Hamon, tobiyaki?

    EdWolf posted a topic in Nihonto

    I have a wakizashi and have some difficulty with naming the type of the hamon. From the middle of the blade towards the tip there are some cloud shaped object. Some connected to the hamon but some are just floating around. Is it save to call this tobiyaki? Not the best pictures but I hope it's good enough. Regards, Ed

    It's called single stroke art. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g7H8IhGZnpM A short demonstration of of this kind of art.

    Steve, The definition of a wakizashi changed over time. Markus Sesko wrote a nice artikel about it. https://markussesko.com/2015/08/11/the-wakizashi/ You can also call your blade a Ko-Wakizashi (slightly bigger than a Tanto). So a ko-wakizashi in full navy Koshirae.

    Hello Chris, Nice find. Is the tsuba painted or is the red color a result of using the flash?
  21. EdWolf
    Markus, that will be great. Thanks for your lecture. Easy to follow even for a novice collector like myself.

    Peter, thank you for your sharing your thoughts!

    Peter, do you mean Tenmon? Uwe, I shall try to make a better picture soon.

    I believe the signature reads Bishu Osafune Sukesada but I'm not sure about it. The signature is hard to read. The date is also difficult but it looks from the Taiei (1521) era. Am I right? Feel free to comment. Al help will be highly appreciated.
