In 1958 he resumed the art of sword forging in his hometown. ¥ 1,5 TK-513, Jo Saku by Akihide This is a beautiful Talisman Tanto. It has been polished (the Ubu-ha is gone), but there is a small rust spot on the mune. Since the original wooden box was destroyed, I commissioned a calligrapher in Japan to create a sayagaki. Sayagaki: 御守護刀 Go Shugo Tō - Protective blade; 於石城山道場造之 Oite Iwaki Yama/Zan Dōjō Tsukuru kore - Made at the Iwaki Mountain Dōjō Hisakatsu has made a few of these tanto; I have 7 in my database. In the NMB you'll find more information about other Talisman Tanto made by Hisakatsu. https://www.Japanese-sword-katana.jp/未分類/1410-3043.htm

Very nice Tsuka for a good price.

No one? I haven't gotten my polished and paid-for blades back from Martin. He isn't even responding to me anymore. Maybe someone else has the same problem.

Does anyone from the NMB currently have blades at Martin Hornak for polishing?

Amazing. Thank you Uwe and Moriyama.

Perhaps this pic of tsuba no. 2 is better for translate!?

I didn't realize that this signature had already been discussed. Thank you very much for your efforts.

Thanks Ray, but unfortunately I can't find 大和守外永作 in Markus Sesko's list of honorary titles at Yamato no Kami.

I try it, John.
