Visited that site several times when I was researching Shintogo Kunimitsu. But I'm not seeing any images of the blades being discussed, neither photos or oshigata. Thats my one disappointment.

Yes, it is very much a data driven site rather than a image driven site. But as a source of information it is up there.

This is absolutely amazing resource I have used it so much over the years. There is a lot of information on that site I have not easily found anywhere else.
