  2. Yes, but I think the quality of the tanto, the horimono is extraordinary. The masame/itame hada is fantastic ( not seen in my awful pics) and so the hamon. To bad I'm not finding the orginal Nobukuni tanto. ?! Best PS and for the shinsa, no doubt..as time goes by..

  16. Hi Arnold, " lighten the sword, without loosing strengh.." probably shows a special "taste" from schools and smiths like the shinto Hosokawa and the shinshinto Naotane school. Special kantei point and a refreshment of blades may be. Do not loose the normal strength but shows a nice and clear effect, demonstrate the blades beauty and the smith reputation... Best PS ..is this also sword marketing..??
