So I bought this at a pawn shop not that long ago. My original plan was to use it for sword training, but I have since found what I think is a more suitable sword for that.
I am a complete beginner here. I have spent hours online trying to learn.
I posted the mei in the translation section and you wonderful people came up with Miike Ju Yukimitsu, a Showa period maker.
I am trying to gain opinions on wether this is indeed masame hada?
Also if it is folded steel is that considered traditional sword making? Or is there quite a bit more to that?
Any and all information is welcomed.
