I was playing with my camera to learn how to shoot nice close up pictures. So some shots of my army sword just to keep this thread going. Hope you like the quality of the pictures. Best regards, Ed

I totally agree with Chris. I use also petroleum jelly (VASELINE) to protect leather. I have used it on old army boots, old bayonets and fighting knives scabbards. Keeps the leather smooth and healthy. Best regards, Ed

Hi Ben, That's a nice display case. Hand made or did you bought it? Best regards, Ed

Thanks to all for your replies! Best regards, Ed

Thanks for your reply Raymond. I must admit that the black finish looks great.

Shakudo contains a small amount of gold (4%). How can this be a bad sign? Or am I missing something?
-
Thanks for the replies. Why is a shakudo Habaki a bad sign. Doesn't make sense to me. Best regards, Ed
-
Hi to all. Just a short question? Is this a copper Habaki which is coated with shakudo or is it something else? Thanks in advance for your reply. Best regards, Ed

Hi Ken, Muromachi was my impression too. The spacing between the mekugi Ana is relatively large, so the original blade length was above 70 cm for sure. I don't even think that the lowest mekugi ana is the original mekugi ana. I think it's lost when the blade was shortened. I have read several threads about taking pictures of blades but in reality it's not that easy. Thanks a lot for your reply. I really appreciate it! Best regards, Ed

Two pictures of the bare blade. Hopefully the quality is good enough. Taking pictures of the blade is the hardest thing to do. The auto focus is not working properly and my hands are not steady enough for manual focus. If other pictures are required, please let me know. Best regards, Ed

and some more pictures. Best regards, Ed

Hi to all, Last week I have purchased a nice blade. The nagasa is 61.5 cm long so I think we can call it a katana. The blade has a nice curvature. The blade is unsigned. Probably lost caused by shortening the blade? I have tried to take some good images. Hope you like it. Feel free to comment. Best regards, Ed

Strange blade. Why are the ha-machi and the mune-machi not in line?
