hso Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 An older gent showed a nice katana to me the other day that had about 3 inches at the kissaski broken off (yes, hard to call a broken katana nice). I showed him how to remove the tsuka and we looked at the nakago and I got a couple of pictures of the markings that I'd appreciate getting a translation so I can let him know what is there. Thanks in advance, Mike Quote

hso Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Posted January 24, 2016 Thanks to each of you! Is there any assurance that the blade is made from nanbantetsu? Quote
Brian Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Well..since it says made from foreign steel...I assume it is made from foreign steel? That much of a broken kissaki would be fatal. Quote
