    Hmm. Mine is different reply. I also asked about a signature into the knife like I have from other knives I have bought in Japan “Thank you for your message. We are making your kitchen knife. It is almost done, final step. But we can't cut into signing to the knife. I'm sorry for it. And Taro has to go to Canada to demonstrate for 1 month, we can send yours the beginning of August. Please wait for a while.”

    Katakiri-Ba

    Gordon Sanders replied to Simon's topic in Nihonto

    Simon, I am a newbie here but pictures are relevant because people want to see the overall shape of the sword and also the file marks on the tang. Think of Japanese swords as art you wouldn't evaluate art by looking at the number of colors in a painting you would look at how the brushstrokes moved those colors

    My solution is old school. Compressed air can. Use the tiny straw or perhaps lengthen it. Slide it down the side of it. And keep tapping. I am sure it will eventually get under the paper and voila !!'n

    I want to send a huge thanks out to Ford Hallam for helping restore my worn warikogai. The gilding and silver spray dots were missing and he was able to restore it to its original glory. Thanks very much for the amazing work
