oneshot onekill Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 I downloaded a picture from online to ask a question. The picture below is NOT my sword. I'm just using it to ask...What is this feature called and what is the significance? (The stripes) My Google-fu is lacking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.hennick Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 The lines are put on by a polisher. It may identify his work to other polishers or collectors who know what a specific polisher uses. You can also sometimes find such line on the kissaki area mune. The lines are made with a burnishing tool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. I just couldn't figure out how to describe them to get an answer to come up in google. My lack of command of the English language. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he is asking about is not called Yasurime! Yasurime is the file marks on the nakago!!! Maybe you should research more before passing judgment to others.. and always in such demeaning manner. Shame. J. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okan Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 @Baba Yaga You clearly didn't even read the question. He's asking about Nagashi lines and you are talking about yasurime. Lets imagine the question was Yasurime...How could he able to search it without knowing the word? On top of that, what's wrong with helping out a new member? 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When being condescending is the real “marrow of the bone”, being gracious and ‘helping’ really isn’t a consideration. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 Pat, (Please edit, the rule about first names is well known) There are few stupid questions. But apparently stupid answers are a thing. That was uncalled for and rude. Take a short break. 8 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
