EastCoast Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 Hello All! Can some please explain to me why kogantans are permitted to rust? I've received my first that came with a Waki and can not for the life of me understand why someone would allow this to happen. Best, James Quote

Blazeaglory Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 Yes i think they were the "folder" of the samurai era. The go to useful blade for daily life. Funny thing is I have a few kogatana and all of them , each in a different stage of rust, can still shave the beard from my face. In the last 100 years I don't think people really treat them with the respect they deserve. They get left in saya for long period of time and maybe overlooked until its too late. Sad too because some of them are made very well with nice hamon. But really sharp and pointy as hell. Time for tetanus shot haha 2 Quote
