Ray Singer Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 This is a sword which was discussed previously on this board. Interesting to see that the sword has gone from 66cm to 69.5cm with the reshaping of the nakago and formation of new hamachi/munemachi. http://www.ksky.ne.jp/~sumie99/sword3.html - Ray Quote
Grey Doffin Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 How do you move the mune machi down to increase the nagasa? Grey Quote
Ray Singer Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Posted June 24, 2015 From what I can see in the photos, the width of the blade has been reduced to form a new munemachi in an area that was previously within the nakago. - Ray Quote
Ray Singer Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Posted June 24, 2015 Referring to the attached mockup, it appears the munemachi is now much closer to the first mekugi-ana (filled). - Ray Quote
seattle1 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 Hello: This is wonderful and will be the source of much recollection for old time collectors who will remember the times when David Scott regaled everyone at many shows with his very convincing stories about the blade stretching machine that he had invented. David, with Albert Yamanaka, for those that do not know him, was the man who brought us the Honami Koson Teiryo Yoji in translation. He was much fun at shows as he also was the very successful seller of Kamikaze medals, the number in the array signifying the number of successful missions flown by the recipient. Arnold F. 1 Quote
