autodex Posted April 9, 2020 Author Report Posted April 9, 2020 Thanks Steven for the clarification Quote
autodex Posted April 9, 2020 Author Report Posted April 9, 2020 Thanks Ken it’s actually my 6th blade but they are NBTHK certified aside from a tanto that has some verifiable history. This is my first blade that has no papers of any kind and clearly I have no idea what I am doing! This is my 2nd Katana to date Quote
autodex Posted April 9, 2020 Author Report Posted April 9, 2020 Will post a review once I receive Quote

autodex Posted April 12, 2020 Author Report Posted April 12, 2020 Thanks Frank i thought the video would help bring out the details Quote
Geraint Posted April 13, 2020 Report Posted April 13, 2020 Fairly sure that the apparent kakumune is a trick of the angle on the photograph and that this is in fact iori mune. (Seen better in the video.) All the best. Quote
