Thanks for your thoughts two heads are better than one even if there both sheep heads as my Yorkshire nanna used to say😆 I have done a fair bit of online research and as of haven’t come to any firm conclusions more research is required but that is an enjoyable exercise . for those who would like to know Chris Bowen was the agent that my mate and I used for the polish and shirasaya and shinsa and we found him to be excellent to deal with hopefully my mate will post some pics of his wakizashi I also sent a tanto I bought from Ray Singer during the start of Covid and will post some pictures when I have a spare moment. cheers Chris H
