isidro305 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 Isidro: hi i buy this sword and i will lake to mount in koshirae the hammon is normal this smith ? is good and school if is possible thanks Quote
Jean Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 Hi Isidro, It seems there is a problem with the blade and that the hamon runs of the blade at the monouchi (15 cm before the tip of the blade) Is it the picture? Quote
cabowen Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 Jean is right, the hamon is missing in the monouchi. It is a showa-to in any case.... Quote
isidro305 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Posted August 20, 2012 Isidro: thanks but the smith name please, this hamon ? maybe is hamon code or clan forged this is Quote
tesscoothome123 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 Hi, I think it reads Kunimasa. You paid quite a bit for this sword as I saw the auction for it. As others have mentioned with the hamon running off the blade this might be a learning experience as many of use have had. Regards, John Quote

Brian Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 Isidro, Can we see a picture of the other side of the blade where the hamon goes off the cutting edge? No..this isn't a normal hamon for this smith, it is a mistake in forging and quenching. It is a WW2 blade. Brian Quote
