    I don't think it's lacquered same. It's very smooth and in some areas the motif is faded. I think it just paint. But the orange brown spots makes a really nice and subtle pattern.

    Hello everybody, I need some help with translating the following mei. The date, if I’m correct is Taisho Ni Nen Roku Gatsu Hi. A day in June 1913. The signature is way too difficult for me. The only thing I know it ends with Saku. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Ed

    Hi Chris, sure it doesn't look like a tanto but I always thought it was determined by length. There's a lot to learn. Thanks for the clarification. Best regards, Ed

    Maybe a stupid question but why don't we call this a tanto. The nagasa is 26cm. I thought that everything under 30cm makes it a tanto.

    If the mekugi-ana is larger than the hole in the Tsuka you never get a secure fit. Maybe that's why they used the glue.
  22. EdWolf
    Worst case the Tsuka is glued to the nakago.

    Congratulations Pete! That's a very attractive set. Regards, Ed

    It's just a number 131. It's used for keeping parts together during production of the sword. Regards Ed
