    Oni Tsuba

    You often find oni and shoki together. Look on John Bertas Web site Gaijin. Com Be is in the dealer list. He had two - one used to be mine. Regards, Barry Hennick

    Hagire Or Not?

    Looks like hagiri to me. Most that I have seen have been more subtle. A barely seen scratch that has a similar scratch on the other side of the blade. Some hagiri are very easy to miss.
  11. Think of the wonderful display at the New York Metropolitan Museum a few years ago. People traveled from far and wide to see that exhibit and to hear the talk on nihonto. Amazing amazing stuff indeed. The PDF of their publication on the exhibit is available - posted in another thread.
  12. I hope that you purchased the upcoming translation by Markus on the work of Nobuiye. He often used a turtle shell design.

  22. Talented meaning having a good eye - leading to excellent composition and well balanced light will have little to do with sword photography. In sword photography the photography is quite technical. Lighting, exposure, iso, focusing, post image processing all are problems to solve. In addition to all that the surface is highly reflective. Light that brings out the hamon doesn't bring out the hada. The mune needs special lighting as does the nakago.
