nagamaki - Franco Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 Hello Bruce, What is the width of the nakago kasane (???) at its widest point? And, hey, Bruce, why not just give measurements in millimeters, so much simpler n'est-ce pas Thanks. Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Posted October 3, 2016 Sure, learning as I go! The nakago, about half-way back, at the widest is 6.63mm, tapering both to the mune-machi and the nakago-jiri. Quote
nagamaki - Franco Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 Hello Bruce, At this point am staying with Koto, Muromachi, and will add that I have suspicions the larger mekugi ana might actually be the original hole which at some point was redrilled. In hand might show otherwise. 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Posted October 3, 2016 Thanks Franco! Yes, the smaller hole nearer the habaki is the one in use in the kai-gunto fittings. The larger one isn't being used at all, so was probably the original. Quote
