IMHO, it's just the difference between a chu saku and a saijo saku

 

 

 

I always consider the work of a smith as a whole and not only partially.

 

Perhaps if you had clarified your statement as asked the ambiguity present in the above two statements could have been avoided.

Hi,

Why that point has to be clarified ? It is essential for any appraisal (at least for any person having some knowledge). In my opinion it should not be precised as it should be obvious....

My apologies as I tend to forget sometimes that English isn't everyone's first language.

I thought this was post about the stains or something on the blade, and nothing else, why does it seem like these post lately turn bad really fast, I say lets stay on topic and try and help him on getting the blade cleaned, and looking good like it should be.

sh..t happens (when two nihonophiles clash)

I would like to know what caused the staining on the blade, so that I can make sure that never happens to any of my blades, and not see people arguing over petty crap.

The most likely cause is that the blade was wrapped in some kind of cloth over an extended period of time. Was it moisture or chemicals in the cloth? Could have been wrapped in this lovely foil that expands and sticks to the surface (what is it called?) I think it was the latter.

 

Conclusion: never wrap your sword in anything. Keep it slightly oiled if necessary (I don't as it is ratehr dry here) and keep it in its shirasaya.
