anny idea about the age , type of hamon?

anny recomendation to find SHINTETSU?

looking the blade , what you guys think? early edo? style of hamon? i really bougth it bc i fall in love with the hamon line hahahah

whats means a lot of ware ?

so after seeing the photos , its a tired sword??? I dont see anny shintetsu , do you guys see something?

i share the photos , in the first one, on the hamon the steel is more darck but easy to see the ondulations of the steel i think this hamon looks like hako midare

but the hammon in the entire blade looks pretty and kind agresive hahaha

Unfortunately, I see a finer part, a little darker steel, what could be the middle steel, is this something fatal?

i really wont use it for cutting annything , first of all , i dont undertand what is a tired sword, i can understand that if you sharp for so many years , the hamon , the thickness and the steel will be disappearing. But looking this sword , i can see very nice hako midare hamon , and i dont see the core steel

i wont use it to cut ,,but have such a piece make me imagine thinks like that hahaha

i want to know if the diference of thick in the blade is a problem

Hello, today I received a wakizashi from the edo period. When I picked it up, I felt that the sword feels somewhat heavy on the tip. When I measured the thickness, I realized that the upper half of the sword is 0.5mm thick and the lower half is 0.43mm thick. Can someone tell me if this is a problem? I carry out cutting tests and I would like to use this sword but I don't know if the difference of 1mm can be a problem im talking about Im taling about diference in Moto-kasane , thickness in the mune in hira zukuri

this blade is hira zukuri , and yes , meaby the other owner tried to repair it

but mune hire is in both side of the blade ??

also , the damage is not in the ha is in the mune , so what interest me is to know if this little damage in the mune ( only in one side of the blade) is a fatal damage , conclusion , if munegire is a fatal damage

yeah but mine is not in the two sides, only in one , so its not a hagire i think

and what is a mune gire ? i didnt find anny info in internet

well , i dont want to cut annything , but i like to imagin if someone use this blade in a real samurai battle, it will broke because of this damage................. is just my imagination hahaha

is it on the mune , only in one side

Does anyone know what this type of defect is called? It is mortal? What I can say is that this defect is in the wrist, it's like a small crack but it doesn't open anymore, it's only on the left side, since the right one is perfect, the crack doesn't seem to get bigger, but it is stable

more photos

bougth from ebay shop that have very good reputation selling Japanese antiques the main question , its a real wakizashi sword , or a replica ? hahaha

okey , now I know is not sanjo minechika , then is a modern copy ???

hello group , yesterday I saw a signature of sanju munechika in a very poor condition Tanto , I dont know if this is from the period or a copy made durin the occupation period
