    How about a built in habaki?
  2. Okan
    I do but a plain one. Koshirae has toku so replacing anything wouldn't be right.
  3. Okan
    Well at least he didn't stick a whole chopstick and left like that.

    Hamon is definitely fake..bad polish as well. It might indeed be a shinto or shin-shinto but this is not a good sword as your first one. There is not much to study and learn.

    Maybe mekugi got splitted as sword was pushing it during shipment..(this might happen if it was a very weak wood instead of a bamboo) Or tried to remove the blade while mekugi was inside? What you can try is to pull two broken pieces at the same time real hard..

    Kaga Zogan I believe..it's a tachi. There is a tsunagi inside. (I know what you meant but this is not a sword discussion)

    Steven, do you mean Mekugi? Piece of wood holds the blade? Did you mean Tsuka when you said Saya?

    I recently bought a new sword with some rain dragons on the koshirae, thought would be interesting to share under this discussion.

    Hey guys, I've noticed a bump on the bottom of an old sword bag so decided to dig it and found this small ball? It was stitched in another layer of a pocket, inside the bag. It was pretty dark and gray so i decided to wash it gently. Has anyone found/saw anything like this before?

    That's not a proper machete...this is a proper machete! ha!

    Hello guys, I was wondering if I could get more info about what I have here. First, the material..Shibuichi? Bronze? Some mixed metal? And period maybe? Thanks a bunch.

    If this is going to be your first sword, for study purposes, I would recommend picking up something in good polish, so you can see the blade.

    Steve, This question was already answered..Mark gave you a list of Nobukini’s..it’s one of them. Hawley 15 ones. Why do you want to pinpoint the smith? Why don’t you study the blade and learn something from it?
