Estate Find Shin Gunto Miromachi Period Blade?


Recommended Posts

Do not attempt to restore Japanese swords. Use a professional. It requires a gruelling decade long apprenticeship under a master togishi to learn how to polish a sword correctly. To attempt to work on a sword with any less experience under your belt (without your masters permission) is a mortal sin and just outright disresspectful to that particular blade. It's only alive today because it was shown respect. It's all of our jobs to continue to honour that. I hope you can understand this and refrain from any further tinkering.
