Rawa Posted June 4 Report Posted June 4 Why such slot was made? It was for fitting longer blades into gunto koshirae? [Kabutogane/sarute] Any typical koshirae? Late war type 3 with blades made with whatever can cut? It indicates that blade is prewar? [Why waste material to forge longer nakago just to punch through it?] Quote

Rawa Posted June 4 Author Report Posted June 4 Thank you! Great info. So even in old days some samurai would have this as possible back up. Quote

lonely panet Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 The type 3 was a late war sword. Quality control and economic conditions reduced time or skilled craftsmen so from my experiences the tsuka fit was always much poorer and required a 2nd mekugi to compensate for rushed products standards. Even on gendai in type 3s this is considered appropriate Quote
Rawa Posted June 5 Author Report Posted June 5 You can find funny things thinking about something. Fresh Tokuho mumei Echizen Rai. Ofcourse dunno how it looked before shortening [current nagasa is 71 cm] Quote
