Loki Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 Everytime a Showa period tachi comes up for sale it invariably contains a showa stamped blade. These blades are not made of traditional tamahagane so why is such good koshirae used on inferior blades? Any thoughts? Thanks... Quote
Rich T Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 that many of these koshirae are not a lot better than the blades, though this may apply more to Meiji and Teisho period pieces. There are an awful lot of tourist pieces out there. Richard Quote
