Hamon: straight, ending in notare at one side and o-notare ending in notare on the other in a mixture of nie and nioi. Hataraki: lots of activity, such as ji-nie, kinsuji, chikei and sunagashi. boshi: Jizo with a long kaeri. Mune-hikushi with tobiyaki. (ubu) Nakago: Hitsu-ana, Mumei ending in kata-yamagata Yasurime: Kosujichigai (or Katte-sagari). for the rest, please see the attached photographs.

DavidF Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 Photograph the tang and the full blade (with tang). These can be helpful with evaluating a blade. DavidF. Quote
