DGuertin Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 I had a copy of the FTK newsletter years ago with a kantei and oshigata of a sword with a "Pike's Head" nakago. Haven't been able to find it since, can't remember the proper term, and haven't the foggiest notion of what sword it was. It was basically a longer version of Tanago-bara... Any help appreciated;m been bugging me for years, and it's a really obscure term... Thanks much! Quote
Geraint Posted October 8, 2014 Report Posted October 8, 2014 Hi Darryl. Can't say that I have come across this term associated with nakago but kamasu gissaki? Kamasu apparently, a saury pike, whatever that might be. All the best. Quote
DGuertin Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Posted October 8, 2014 YES! That was exactly it! Wrong end of the sword, but I remembered as best I could... Quote
Geraint Posted October 8, 2014 Report Posted October 8, 2014 Just so long as you don't confuse the ends while handling! Quote
