Brian Posted March 6, 2018 Report Posted March 6, 2018 Not much to say really.Bought some knives from a local guy, and he had this for many years, in this condition. Gave it to me as a curiosity.Sad....it took some force for someone to do this, the metal is torn and bent a bit.I guess I'll polish the cut ends to show the construction. Quote
ROKUJURO Posted March 6, 2018 Report Posted March 6, 2018 It is painful to see a senseless destruction like that. Barbarical ! Quote

Ray Singer Posted March 6, 2018 Report Posted March 6, 2018 Satsu-age (satsuma-age). I owned a Yoshioka Ichimonji which was saved in this way. Nice reference at the bottom of this page. http://www.ksky.ne.jp/~sumie99/suriage.html Not the one I mentioned above, but another Ichimonji which seems to have been put through this process. http://www.tsuruginoya.com/mn1_3/a00259.html 2 Quote
