kitsune Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Hello, What do you think of this blade ? Nagasa : 34 cm Sori : 4 mm Moto kasane : 4.9 mm Moto haba : 2. 8 cm Kitae : itame with mokume hada. Steel is dark. Hamon : sugu ha with nioideki. Bright nioiguchi. Ko maru bôshi with a long kaeri. (The polishi is old and is not perfect) Thanks for your help. Quote
Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 I wonder if the Ha runs into the Nakago and if the part highlighted is possibly a sign of Suriage. Quote
Jean Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 I agree with Carlo, at the level of the notch, nakago seems to slightly cave in. Yasurime are kiri, indicating either SHINTO or Suriage Koto, dark steel, could be koto end of Nambokucho beginning Muromachi suriage blade. Nioi deki will lead to Mino/Bizen rather Mino from the hada. Quote
kitsune Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Posted February 2, 2008 Thank you. You confirm what I think. Indeed, I think it's a blade that time, perhaps Mino den (Maybe there is shirake utsuri ???). This blade is obviously machi okuri . Quote
Jacques Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Hi, IMHO, Shitahara school is possible. Quote
kitsune Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Posted February 2, 2008 I don't think, it's not enough uzumaki hada and hamon without mura nie. But .... We can't be sure in the state of polished. Quote
Steve Waszak Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Itame-mokume hada, dark steel, gentle tanago-bara nakago, hira-zukuri... My initial thought would be, as Jacques speculates, Shitahara. The darkness of the steel, combined with what seems to be some real age to that tanago-bara nakago, plus the hada...all this points to the bungi era Sengo, Shitahara, Shimada "group," I think. Of course, there were some Mino interactions here, too... I can't make out the hamon well enough to offer an opinion on that aspect... It's a nice blade, though, Kitsune (what's your actual name, please? )... Would love to see it in fresh polish... Cheers, Steve Quote
kitsune Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Posted February 2, 2008 Thank you Steve, My name is Serge.Sorry, with the change of forum, my name is no longer on the bottom of my messages. Quote
Brian Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Serge, You might have added that in your profile on the old board only after I moved all the users (and hence profiles including signatures) over to this forum. Just go into your profile, signatures..and add it again Brian Quote
takakage Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 in spite the dark jigane but it is an old polish, may be a work of daido ? Quote
