Greetings,

 

I just took a few swords out of storage and noticed for the first time that the tang has been cut down at a diagonal angle on one of them. Was this a cut-down tachi? The blade has girth and is relatively heavy.

 

More detailed information and photos can be provided.

 

Thanks,

Khalid

Khalid, there are many different ways that the end of the nakago are finished on osuriage swords. This by itself is not indicative that the blade is a tachi. Whether the blade was once a tachi is better determined based on what the blade itself is (when it was made).
