Dear Diego.

 

What makes you think that your blade is strange?    

 

All the best.

[Stephen]

I get the impression its Shinto, just a muse.

[dig1982]

Is strange for the characteristics. I can't ut the sword in a determined school. What do you think geraint? Stephen i'm surely it is koto...why do you think is shinto?

[Stephen]

i see osaka shinto, its a feeling

Very nice sword but is more massive than mine...sugata of my sword is thinner then shinto sword...i don't know if i explain my thoughts.

[Stephen]
