    Not a island sword, just a poorly aged chinese/indo fake. The island sword myth is missunderstood by many, when really it was more accurately skilled service man making fakes to sell to GIs for profit. I had a family friend how was a black Smith, served on kokoda and the bull track. Who did just this.

    Kai is the odd one out, but like a mate said to his wife each time she complains. "Your just as replaceable as my last piece" Always enough to break the mood

    Imho I would say kizu-uchi are above low grade gendaito. How many sue Bizen bundle blades have abundant sunagushi, kinsugi, ash etc. If you seen these in a emura with similar hataraki peapke go nuts for it.

    Hi guys, Well I'm asking for help with two hozon papers on tsuba. I done the easy stuff but I'm stuck with the descriptions of the tsuba's So I kindly ask for a translation of the 2,3,4 columns. Basicly the good stuff,

    Here's a topic that popped into my head after a email from a friend. Who are the top ten school for the best iron. You may ask what the term "best" means ?? Construction, patina, colour of iron or Evan resistance to corrosion. I'll throw it open, as normally I only study akasaka and am ignorant to other schools
  18. lonely panet
    Very nice, I have only seen silk
  19. lonely panet
    the corrosion has taken metal away, why would you attempt to clean/restore something that would not resemble its original design. by the time you picked of the flacking suface would prob loose 60% of the leaf markings. also it has none of the dignity or quality of Florian B's tsuba its not a ko-tosho etc, its just a fancy drink coaster, micro frisby or paper weight now Or iai ???

    but were talking about gimei, not the sword??? some one signing a false name to a sword that they didn't make, to gain finically
  21. lonely panet
    Also with nakirishi-mei aswell as shoshin, how can one be confident of what is fake and what is real.
  22. lonely panet
    Now a drink coaster imho
  23. lonely panet
  24. lonely panet
    I would really like to see some examples

    from what i read in the book THE Japanese SWORD buy sato, in which the above sword is shown, it became a trait to have 2 mekugi, for needed in the heat of battle with the new katate uchi. a extra safety measure it may be called
