RyanM Posted Monday at 02:16 PM Report Posted Monday at 02:16 PM Recent pick up, can anyone tell me anything about it? Quote
ROKUJURO Posted Monday at 05:47 PM Report Posted Monday at 05:47 PM Ryan, welcome to the NMB forum! If you look at your photos, you will see that they are slightly out of focus and show no details, so there is not much to report other than the HIRA-ZUKURI WAKIZASHI has relatively wide SUGUHA HAMON. From the accompanying text, it seems to be a KANEYASU sword. Quote

ROKUJURO Posted Monday at 07:32 PM Report Posted Monday at 07:32 PM Marcin, that does not make the pictures any better. If we are requested to help, it is difficult enough with photos alone, so they should be as good as possible. It is useless to post bad photos, but it is not difficult to follow a few simple rules. Some dealers show bad photos to hide flaws, so they should be asked for better ones. Images posted here should be: - well focused, not foggy or blurry - made with a plain dark/black, non-reflective background for good contrast (not white, not patterned!) - made in a dark room, using spotlights - made with light from the side (may not apply to HAMON photos) - made directly from above (not at an angle) - made with correct orientation of the blade (straight vertically tip-upwards, especially NAKAGO photos) - without HABAKI, showing the MACHI and NAKAGO JIRI - made in high resolution to see details like BOSHI, HAMACHI, HAMON, HADA, NAKAGO JIRI etc. - presented as cut-outs so very little background is showing Quote
RyanM Posted Monday at 11:26 PM Author Report Posted Monday at 11:26 PM My main issue right now is I am not experienced enough to remove the blade to show the signature and further details. It feels stuck and since this is my first piece; I’d love to know how to take it apart without it fear of harming it or myself. So, that being said I can definitely provide better photos but I think I need a walkthrough of breaking the wakizaski down. Quote
