jct3602 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Started with a blade that had been split past the shinogi, and then sort of hammered (some American probably showing how he could slice a tree in 2). A friend did all the work, cutting, shaping, tang, Laquer, tsuka, etc. Everything but the menuki, the ganesh kurikata, and one fuchi. The base was Satsuma-aged and ended up looking like a yoroi-doshi. Sending some pictures now, and more as i get them transferred to computer. Hope they are worth viewing, lol. yours, john twineham 1 Quote
Fuuten Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Please post some photo's of the entire thing, from the third photo the kissaki really doesn't look good. Perhaps a pic of the 'before' state might shine it in a different light. Quote
Toryu2020 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Axel look closely, Satsuma-aged might better be rendered "Satsuma-age'd" It looks like it is supposed to look and it looks pretty cool to me... -t 1 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 It does not look very Japanese to me, and not like a YOROI-DOSHI, at least on these few photos. Quote
Brian Posted June 20, 2017 Report Posted June 20, 2017 Yes, but not a bad save for a snapped blade either. Interesting project. Some good fittings there too. 1 Quote
