wakiboy Posted August 25, 2024 Report Posted August 25, 2024 Good afternoon I have a blade by godai kinmichi circa 1751/1764 it has a nagasa of 52.8cm and a sori of 1mm or less, it has a width at the machi of 2.37cm and yokote 1.7cm….. Because of the lack of Sori & lack of width I can only imagine the blade being made for a walking stick, does anyone have any other suggestions please. best regards Ian 1 Quote
wakiboy Posted August 25, 2024 Author Report Posted August 25, 2024 Just had a phone call, just to clarify the term Walking Stick does mean Sword Stick. Thank you Ian Quote
