Hans Kondor Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 Hello guys, I would like to ask you some questions about Daisho's. I am interested in that are there any kind of rules about them. The following things interested me: Do both blades should have the same hamon style? Can be one blade has a horimono and the other ones not? Both of them must have a bo-hi if one has? Thank you in advance for your answers! Quote
paulb Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 Hans, I think generally the term Daisho refers more to the koshirae (fittings) than the blades. the fittings for both long and short sword are made as a matching set. the blades themselves do not have to be the same style period or even by the same smth. Although some were specifically made as a daisho I dont think this is at all common. Quote
