Hi Ken I really don't know my friend I wasn't there when it was done lol. I've seen a few with the same issue and one I actually had papered and the shinsa team left a question mark in place of the kanji the mekugi went through. Odd indeed. Peter

Hello Gents I wonder if anyone has seen one of these before it's an outer metal core with the wooden inner tsuka . It is katana size . Any information on what it is called or pics would be much appreciated, Markus has said he has seen a few and some even with into although I can not find any on the net. Regards Peter

Thank you gentlemen for your insights,I think John view possibly pointed directly to a reason why the cut test where performed when they where as a way of reintroducing an interest in having a sword even though at that time there where no battles to be fought and perhaps also sparking this collecting bug we now have in their beauty rather than their life taking or life saving abilities.

Thank you Ken and for the link, so in the 1800's they felt it appropriate to test ancient blades from 500 years old or more ? Peter

Hello Anyone ever heard or thought of when and how the sharpness ranking came into play ? Just has me thinking since I have just had wakizashi papered to Bizen Hidemitsu and he is rated Seijo-Owazamono. (highest cutting ability). And the blade is dated Eitoku 1381-84 Peter

Tanto is now sold. Thank you all. Peter
