jezah81 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 Is it possible to use the koma nagura stone to touch up the edge of a shinsakuto without having to polish the whole blade? If anyone can give some basic instructions, that would be awesome. Kind Regards, Jeremy Hagop Quote
Brian Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 Jeremy, I think the simple answer is no. The way to sharpen any Nihonto is to go through the polishing process. There are no shortcuts. Perhaps there are methods used by some that are less traditional, but this board's stance is that the traditional method is the one that should be applied to prevent damage. I assume by shinsakuto you are referring to traditionally forged, folded and tempered modern swords. If you are referring to modern copies like Chen, Hanwei etc..then that might be a different story.
