That is super interesting . Even over polishing a blade can change the sori. And he wanted to do that just to lighten the blade, cutting a bohi would've been the better route I think .
-
Thank you for this explanation. Very educating. No antique here. Only a shinsakuto made for training purposes.
-
It's not the first time i have heard the sori changes when putting a bohi. I read it on another Japanese sword site. I will try to find the link and post it here

It's a shinsakuto made and signed by okamoto kazumune

To be honest i can't tell if it increased or decreased the sori. How I know the sori changed is because Chris told me, and that the blade is ever so slightly tighter to fit back into the saya. Logic however tells me that I'm more inclined to think that it decreased the sori. The original sori was 18mm before sending it off, I would say its between 16-17mm now.
-
I definitely agree about the aesthetics . It changed the sori by about 1mm-2mm but nothing drastic. All in all, very happy with it

Nothing much to see. It's in user polish but I bet this blade would be absolutely stunning if ever polished , nice itame hada and suguha hamon. But the bohi is very well done. The whole sword weighed 1345 grams with koshirae without saya , now it weighs 1174 grams. 2-6-5 length. Alot easier to use with my aging sore arms!
-
Sure. It's only a training blade , so it's not in an art polish. But I'll post some pics nonetheless

Hey guys Just received my shinsakuto back from Chris. Just wanted to say he's one of the best I've dealt with in the sword business. Quick service and good communication. I sent my sword to get a bohi carved into it, it came back beautiful and even better than I expected. It will be a joy go go back to training again ! If I've posted this in the wrong place please feel free to move this thread.

I got two pieces I'd be interested in submitting. One tanto and one wakisashi. I'm in Sydney

Neat package! Is that a shakudo habaki?

It's a bare blade shinsakuto I had a bohi carved into it. Package would be about 35 inches long I'm guessing. Labelled "nihonto" and shipped 2 days ago -
Shipping sword US (CA) to Aust

I recently had my blade shipped from Wisconsin USA to Sydney Australia with EMS USPS EXPRESS . Costs extra though -
Which one do you recommend? 1st 2nd or 3rd in the pic?

Hey guys I'm getting a bohi cut into my existing blade by a artisan in Japan, he has notified my agent that the sori could be affected by about 1-2mm which doesn't sound like much. Will this affect how the blade goes into the saya? Intuitively speaking, 1-2mm doesn't sound like it should cause much issue, but I would like to hear from you guys. Cheers Jeremy

Horseback riding would make a great addition to our curriculum !!

Thanks for posting this. As a toyama ryu practitioner, I found this article very interesting and a fun read
-
Thanks for all the replies
-
Interesting point..
-
Thanks for your reply. It does answer my question actually. By shinae, I'm assuming you meant shiai/ duel type matches ?
-
Im trying to figure out how popular 1cm or less sori swords were back in the day by the bushi? Were they more symbolic like the fukkoto type swords or did some bushi actually prefer using swords with shallow sori? Tried googling this with not much information found . Thanks! Jeremy

Thats good to hear. Makes it easier to make transactions

Hi Dave From memory they don't use PayPal which is something to think about. Unless they have changed that. But I used my credit card to purchase from them
