Kizu, ware and Star stamped gendai-to


Bruno

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Are all star stamped gendai-to always garanteed 100% flawless regarding forging flaws, or it is possible to find kizu on them? 

 

If they can have kizu or kitae ware, can they be removed by a traditionally  trained togishi?

 

Finally, did you ever find forgind flaws on your star stamped gendai-to you own(ed)?

 

Thank you

Like any real Japanese sword, it is possible to find flaws. I don't have any on mine, but you will find them for sure. The star stamp was no guarantee of perfection and quality varies. Plus, they were still weapons, and a visual flaw would not have seen it rejected for use.
