Thanks a lot guys, as Brian says it is a long split, as can be seen going all the way past the mei, Peter

HI brian, yes it is only one side and goes all the way from the tang to kassaki, could you help with the smith, ie age of the blade, i see a nice hamon although doesnt show in pics, peter

Thanks Grey, do you think this is ww2 or earlier going by the mei? peter

Hello guys ,i just recieved this sword and wonder if you could help with the mei, i tryed a little myself and came up with Katsunori, also the blade seems late war maybe stainless with a split or crack in the hamon the entire lenth of the blade through the yokote into kassaki on the mei side, what would cause such a thing and could it have been there since it was turned out, many thanks, Peter

well Keith thanks for the steer, the book is ordered and Lorenzo that is a cracking site, step by step on shira saya, the reason for the post in the 1st place was mostly to ask if i had an option as i have a Wakizashi of to polish and shira saya after, as i have a few blades mounted in shirasaya at the moments i maybe wanted something a little differant, as in the outward apperance, Peter
-
Good comments guys. Glad I asked now. Still scarce on pictorial info though I must see if I can source some. Peter
-
Thank you Barry, iI have a few myself in shira saya which are the more common type seen, slightly rounded edges and uniformed from saya to tsuka but recently have seen a few not so streamlined, broad and the point the tsuka meets the saya, narrowing in the centre and slightly flared again towards the kashira, i just wondered if this was just a personal preferance as i didn,t get the opportunity to ask at the time, Peter
-
hi to all, just a question on shira saya, are there differant types? styles? if so is it era based or on style of blade, peter
