    I was also wondering why some have writing/a grid on the back and some are blank?
  3. PhoenixDude
    lack of much activity in the hamon.
  4. PhoenixDude
    put that drill straight through his ear.

    maybe the tsuka maker had a deep burning hatred of the tokugawa?

    Has anyone ever seen urushi lacquered pawlonia boxes for fittings? Im asking because it looks like im going to have alot of extra black urushi from a project im working on and im thinking about lacquering some of my storage boxes.

    So nobody has any idea of an approximate age, or school?

    No its iorimune, Tang is a bit thicker than the blade, its seen a polish or two. not that much thicker though, about 5-6mm max.

    Ive given the kissaki a close look, i dont think the hamon runs off the edge, but it gets close at some spots.

    Ignore the mei, pretty sure its gimei. The shinogi is shinogi zukuri, the blade is so thin though that its almost not there anymore. I'm starting to think this may be a katateuchi as well, albeit a bit suriage.

    This is a very thin blade, I believe it was originally made that way. Its a wakizashi at 52cm long nagasa, with a maximum kasane of about 4-5mm. Its very tired, I don't see any core steel exposure, but it has a lot of ware and the hamon is difficult to see. Hada is Itame, Hamon is a very shallow suguha hotsure.

    Perhaps its X宗乗X?
