Pavel Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Hello Gentlemen, I have another blade I would like to show you, think you might like it better than the last one. Do not think it is a wartime blade, maybe you can tell me for sure. Wakizashi 65.5cm/25.8" total, nakago 13cm/5.11" to notch 52.5cm/20.66" cutting edge Straight hamon? 3cm/1.18" wide at the bottom of the blade and 2cm/0.78" wide at the tip. 2cm/0.78" bend in the blade. Might have had a mei at one time but the rust and corrosion is pretty bad. Have always worn gloves when handling this blade, not used anything buy choi oil on it. Hope I did this right. Thank You, Pavel Quote
Pavel Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Posted July 19, 2011 After talking with my Sensei, I feel bad about asking for this blade to be Kantei. He won't even look at it, told me I shouldn't be either. I apologize for offending your eye, I am learning as fast as I can. Can't buy anymore blades until I learn a lot more than I know now. Quote

Pavel Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Posted July 21, 2011 Pavel,Sounds like you are now learning properly Brian Thank You Brian, that means a lot to me coming from you. It was talking to you, Morita san and a few others that convinced me to learn traditionally. I take some solace in the fact I have now spent more on my education and books, than I ever did on a sword. Hope it is alright to lurk and learn a while. Pavel Quote
