gtstcactus Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Hey, I have been looking at this pic and a few others of this blade.... I hope the attatched pic is enough for someone to tell me.... I was thinking gunome is the hamon pattern but after looking at sato and yumotos' books I'm a tad unsure as there sketches differ a tad... I think it looks like what sato shows as gunome, yumoto I feel shows gunome as slightly less curved more zig-zag... I don't think it is doran or sanbon-sugi.... If someone could set me straight I'd appreciate it! Quote
Mark Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 from the picture hard to tell if you are seeingthe actual temper pattern or the hadori. If i had to guess i would say it is gunome but has been poorly polished so you see the hadori Quote
gtstcactus Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Posted March 14, 2011 Hey, more Ebay fodder? No it's not.... just a pic I was looking at... I decided to compare it with my limited references and noticed the difference in the 2 books I looked at... Just thought someone might help me expand my limited knowledge. Quote
