zatoichi Posted October 13, 2012 Report Posted October 13, 2012 Question about the relationship of the yokote to the shinagi and ha. Is the Yokote supposed to run between the radius braking point of the ha and shinogi? Is it supposed to be perpendicular to the ha at the braking point? Some blades it is perpendicular, some leaning forward, some leaning back. Is this just bad polishing that has changed the geometry of the blade? Thanks Justin E Quote
Brian Posted October 13, 2012 Report Posted October 13, 2012 Although not answering your question completely, this is useful when studying kissaki geometry. Thanks to Gabriel for this. Brian Quote
