    Strange blade

    uwe replied to Ken-Hawaii's topic in Nihonto

    Hamon on the last pic pointed towards Mino, I think. Furthermore, kasane on the mune-machi looks quite sound. This leads me to the assumption, that it is probably a ("lately") shortened shinto blade, like mentioned before. Uwe

    Well, talked to a more knowledgeable guy today about the subject. He stated that this "system" was indeed still used in the satsuma region during the edo period! Although, there is a controversy to witch purpose?

    Hello Reggie, do you mean "kaerizuno" ? For the present, I found no special reference that udenuki were particularly used in the satsuma region. All I can contribute is, that the use of udenuki decline during the edo-period and the udenuki-ana "mutated" to ornaments on tsuba. Just my two cents...... Uwe

    Hi Ken, I`m afraid I`m with Lance. Almost sure that it isn`t an Ezo-koshirae The name Ezo-koshirae arisen in the Meji-period and means northern (emishi) mounting. Mostly elaborately decorated with typical carvings of the northern natives. Regards Uwe
