Sebuh Posted October 16 Report Posted October 16 https://katanahanbai.com/en/katana/gassan-sadayoshi/ Saw this while browsing, anybody see the point of this? I get it is the owner of the blades name? but why not inscribe it on the Nakago? Interesting blade shaped like a machete as listed in the description. Unfortunately I quite have a liking for the additional oddities. 1 1 Quote
Ray Singer Posted October 16 Report Posted October 16 Sebuh, What immediately comes to mind is that the Osaka Gassan smiths purportedly created their signature ayasugi-hada by drilling a linear series of indentations into the steel, which were then hammered flat. This treatment strikes me as what a sunobe might look like before it was hammered down (midway through the process of creating ayasugi-hada). That at least is my speculation. Best regards, Ray 1 Quote
