pleasemx Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 please have a look at the following 2 different swords(not mine). for the 1st, the hada is only obvious near the hamon line; for the 2nd, it looks like the jihada gets/extends into the hamon area. looks a little wired to me... Is this because of the special material(iron/steel/tamahagane) used or some special forging methods performed? Can anybody make some comments? thx! Quote
cabowen Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 It is related to both the materials and the processing. Not really strange..... Quote

nagamaki - Franco Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 It is essential for anyone wishing to learn and study nihonto to begin with building a strong vocabulary with a supporting library to aid them in applying vocabulary to what they're seeing. Quote
