TenguSan Posted February 3 Report Posted February 3 Any idea what’s going on with this nakago? There is a sort of flap cut into it and there is the faint outline of a darker circle the same size as the mekugi ana directly below it. For reference I’m told this is a koto blade and there is the remnant of another mekugi ana at the very tip of the Nakago so significantly o suriage. thanks Quote
ROKUJURO Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 Although I would need to see the complete NAKAGO, I suspect that this is indeed what came out after an ORIKAESHI technique (折返し). To me, it looks as if a large part of the NAKAGO has been folded back and fire-welded. The YASURI-ME seems rather fresh to me and not KOTO-like. A FUKURE looks differently in my experience (I have produced some unwillingly...) . Quote
