Hi, All. Another beginner here. I've been interested in Japanese swords for years but not in any organized fashion until the past few months. I recently acquired a project wakizashi (yes, I know, but I did want to learn from the ground up). I'm recreating an appropriate koshirae for it now. I received a blade and a beat-up saya, and pretty much everything else was missing, including the habaki and the horn fittings for the saya. Fabricating the missing parts has been a learning experience all in itself. I know I have a long way to go and I look forward to learning from everyone here.
