pcfarrar Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 Anyone have any thoughts on this wakizashi? The hamon is a very typical Mino gunome. The sword has a deeply cut bohi on both sides. I was thinking along the lines of late Muromachi Mino work. Nagasa - 57.5cm Kissaki - 3cm Nakago - 14.5cm Kasane - 0.6cm Kasane Kissaki - 0.5cm Motohaba - 3.1cm Sakihaba - 2.1cm Sori - 1.6cm Quote
AndreasU Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 Hmm, no idea but the tang looks strange shaped! Andreas Quote
pcfarrar Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Posted August 30, 2007 It's o-suriage, where the bohi terminates that was the original cutting edge of the sword. Making it roughly 68cm nagasa originally Quote
mike yeon Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 The hamon looks mino. Can you get an idea of the jihada and boshi? mike Quote
pcfarrar Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Posted August 30, 2007 The boshi appears to be midare-komi with quite a deep kaeri. Impossible to say anything about the jigane in its current state. Quote
