Name of Hamon-Boshi course

[Itomagoi]

Hello,
I would like to ask you if this course of the Hamon to the Boshi has a special name.

Maybe someone of you can show me more examples.

[Rivkin]

I don't think it follows the line exactly like that, but yes. Typically - Shinto.

One can even try calling it Mishina boshi, but its not too reliable.

Just a thought.

[Itomagoi]

It is not easy to photograph. I have never seen this "sudden drop" of Hamon just before the Yokote.

This should answer your questions: https://markussesko.com/2015/06/10/kantei-3-hamon-boshi-3/  One quick note is that when the hamon changes abruptly at the boshi, the blade is Shinto or more recent.

 

Also, what happened to the tip of your blade?

[Rivkin]

Agh, I see what you mean. No its not Mishina boshi for certain with the new pictures, I don't remember at the top of my head who specifically changed to sugu-boshi like that - it is unusual I agree.

[ChrisW]

Looks like it was poked into something and the tip snapped off! My condolences.

[Bugyotsuji]

Was this blade casually used for stoking a fire, I wonder?

[Itomagoi]

Thanks for the link, Ken. I have read that of course.

I would have thought that there is a name when the Hamon before Yokote suddenly changes the line such as "Yakidashi" the start of the Hamon at Hamachi. But not everything always has to have a name.

 

Yes, it is very sad about the Kissaki. This blade is a Gendaito of Hiromasa 1943.
