Rawa Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 (edited) Your opinion on this example please. Could this be done by machine? Saku is chiseled like in 2 attempts and these horizontal strikes feels like divided. https://www.ebay.com/itm/286431426499?_skw=emura+sword&itmmeta=01KQJSZVZFB208962YJWR42QG8&hash=item42b0a4b7c3:g:NEwAAOSwhrtn4AIV&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xAJT7GSl7Y%2FWQycmbJMLcoGoiJlfSmcoBCICIr%2Fk2x%2F2WoneoocjlsjHZo%2BEp104qwPvaYtoVC3GkYhqeJpORYxj4zZIe0aWPcxtJFCeWbfOhD18N1LpiT%2B2T%2BWheBGzZk1DMNr%2BvH3KzSntWVhtoV5jku1rgSIceKjh%2Fs1cscqwqBSf631bAL7el2MW2rKSoiAv7hOB0SRFfu0MpUCf%2FqUB0rf7zuo%2BYRg9T1gbEXnrJKWCGYa2tB2zQ%2F6jAOHBsIYofeZ3mvtzm7ufb6qSauoUpMb2F1zlXs3G5FhUvdB5w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_S__9m8Zw Edited May 2 by Rawa 1 1 Quote
John C Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 Marcin: If you are asking if the mei was made with a rotary machine (e.g., Dremel), no it was chiseled. But for 12 grand it should be inlaid with 18k gold, studded with diamonds, and hand delivered on a silk pillow. John C. 1 Quote
Rawa Posted May 2 Author Report Posted May 2 (edited) John I was asking If there could be used CNC like machine. With granite You can do 3D sculptures. Saku from this example especially in this Type 3 mint flawless mounting and freshly made polish gives me concerns. It looks like machine started doing saku and was corrected. Why put another horizontal stroke that way? Person doing mei couldn’t just extend existing strokes? Instead was doing parralel line. Edited May 2 by Rawa 1 Quote
lonely panet Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 bloody shame about the polish and removed yokote. real butcher job. the kosh is very nice, but the price is pure fantasy Quote
John C Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 Marcin: I was focusing on the distinct chisel marks and the very sharp points on the strokes. More likely a chisel made these marks. John C. 2 1 Quote
The Blacksmith Posted May 3 Report Posted May 3 If it was done with intent to deceive, then it could be done with a machine, and the finished with a chisel to produce the tagane no makura. 1 Quote
