Sporkkaji Posted April 11, 2018 Report Posted April 11, 2018 I found this small picture online but there was no information about it other than it being a very old tachi. Wondering if anyone has any insights? 1 Quote

Marius Posted April 11, 2018 Report Posted April 11, 2018 I would say a tachi with nakago pierced in the style of a kenukigata tachi. Hence, not so early as the former. Call it a reminiscence. Quote
IanB Posted April 11, 2018 Report Posted April 11, 2018 Not a real kenukigata blade. They have the tang section much thicker than the blade itself which is covered with a decorative metal sheathing. As a result the seppa, tsuba and habaki all have to be slid on over the blade and fixed with a rivet through the habaki. I have had the privilege of handling one and they feel very uncomfortable in the hand and would jar terribly if you hit something. Ian Bottomley 2 Quote
