zatoichi Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 Is this type of Nioigire excepted/found on koto Gassan tanto. I was not able to find another example on the net or in my books. This one papered tokubetsu hozon. Not sure if it was this way when papered. Justin http://www.sanmei.com/contents/media/T2 ... PUP_E.html Quote
cabowen Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 Hard to tell for sure from the pictures but this could be the result of one of two things: yaki-otoshi or from polishing (the blade is tired). It isn't really what one thinks of as a classic nioi-gire. Quote
