    Why would I do something stupid like that
  2. Swords
    Only temporary until I find a better mekugi

    Finally I used the awl from the cleaning kit pounded it with the point end and it broke into small pieces left from the peg Than I cut a new peg to fit from a chop stick Thanks for everyone’s help

    I can’t see day light but looks like wood inside Even if there’s. Wood inside the hole shouldn’t the scabbard come off without forcing it ? The peg came out easily on both sides yet when I pounded it using a block of wood and a hammer it didn’t budge I don’t know if it’s lined up I will try the pin like John mentioned I will take a picture

    I tried tapping the tsuba with a block of wood and hammer but probably not as hard as I should I will take a picture

    The ends of the mekugi came out easily because it was broken. I did try the chopstick but no luck I think it’s wedged in pretty good I was thinking maybe a small Alan wrench ? Because what s left of the peg is inside Im afraid if it’s not in tang hole and not lined up I don’t want to force it out! Maybe im making it more complicated than it is

    I am perplexed because the wrapping was tight so I don’t know why the mekugi got broken? I will give it a try I don’t want to make it worse thanks Steve
  10. Swords
    Yes thanks for correcting me

    I’m glad I had help deciding what to do about this sword s i appreciate everyones opinion I have a question I noticed the menuki is broken off in the saya the ends of the menuki on both sides came off I tried removing the saya but is frozen I believe a piece of the menuki is stuck inside the saya Any help would be appreciated Steve

    I did get a 300.00 off the price so I think it best to keep it Maybe down the road I will get it polished as it seems worth it to me The spot isn’t Deep but smooth more superficial Again thanks for all opinions It was a difficult decision and hope it was the right choice

    Would you want it if it was yours? I sent Woody pictures to see what he thought
  14. Swords
    Got the sword yesterday I had high hopes but to me it looked at some point someone tried to remove rust causing damage Too bad the rest of the blade looks nice ! Having a 2 million yen star stamped would have a decent sword to own The seller asked if I would take a partial refund but I don’t believe it can be restored ? here pictures
  15. Swords
    Thanks John hope you’re right Brian I am trying to be positive so will wait and see

    I was so busy looking at the good part of the hamon I didn’t look hard enough at the bad part I dont this would be considered Very good condition ?
  17. Swords
    You’re right when I get a hands on look at it I will take close up pictures Thanks again for all the help! I’m glad I posted it Steve
  18. Swords
    I will have to look at it when I get it
  19. Swords
    Yes David flamboyant probably a good analogy but the characteristic by this smith is wide suguba which I believe represents this hamon
  20. Swords
    Sorry I didn’t get back sooner I did a comparison of the mei from what I can see it looks the same to me I also compared to book by John Slough
  21. Swords
    Thanks good to hear positive I probably got it a little cheaper if I asked less but didn’t want to lose it Only wish it had a better hamon steve
  22. Swords
