Hi Martin, You must find the nagasa of your blade on the second section (start is on the right). regards Jacques -
Look at the upper pics

hi, Right Moriyama san, kesho yasurime doesn't exist in koto times.

Hi, Where is the error? http://www.laighleas.com/ (Tanto by Sukenao)

Hi, Right, mostly when pictures are not so good :lol:

Hi, Why i say that this blade is tired? it seems to my eyes that it was some suspect zone near the yokote and on the first pic in the middle of the blade like loose grain, also the shinogi-ji has ware. I should like a pic of the whole blade and one of the nakago without the habaki. You ask for some judgement, i give mine and it's only mine.
-
Hi, Out of polish and tired.
-
Hi, Darcy says: That's right and the nakagojiri of Osafune Kanemitsu is kurijiri haru (thick) not ha-hagari kurijiri like this one. And i should be surprised to find an Osafune Kanemitsu without any papers.
-
hi, Nie and sunagashi appear in many schools, sugata and line of the hamon are very important (we have no help with the nakago). The exemples showed by Jean (Salut le titi :D ) have a hamon wich is not in accordance with your blade one. Shinza will be the last judge :D

Hi, I don't know there are some Kunitsugu in MIzuta school, i know that it was the school of the Kunishige lineage.

Hi, Could not be Kanewaka ha?

Hi, Sorry for my mistakes (kogatana an in place of kozuka ana and "wrote" in place of written) but it was late in France and i was tired :?
-
Hi, Yes it is Nobuyoshi.

Hi, A good article about soten tsuba Wrote by Robert Haynes Are kogatana ana and kogai ana usually inlaid in Soten School? A very good soten:
-
Hi, It's not a book, it's an article which was written in 1981 by Harvey Stearn in the Bushido journal. You can also look at here especially the paragraph "Japanese sword from ancient times". I think that is instructive and show the necessity of the smith's skill.
-
Hi, I've an article talking about tsukurikomi. this article contains some pictures wich shows the disposition of the hard steel and the soft one. These pictures confirm that Ted says.
-
Hi, I think there is a misunderstanding, i use alcohol only in subsitution of the uchiko powder (old oil tends to get hard) after that and when my blade is absolutely dry i apply a thin covering of new choji oil until i need to clean my blade again.
-
In France, where i live, rubbing alcohol contains 90% alcohol, i use it without any problems (it's promptly dry and no scratchy). Perhaps rubbing alcohol is not so pure in Canada or States.
-
Hi, You can use rubbing alcohol (90°) instead uchiko, it's active and without inconvenience.
