IJASWORDS Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 An interesting example, thick pierced open work tsuba, fuchi with family mon, kabutogane secured by pins and the clasped monkey hands sarute. 4 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 Interesting Neil. Do those pins or rivets in the kabutogane go all the way through? 1 Quote
IJASWORDS Posted February 27, 2019 Author Report Posted February 27, 2019 Hi Bruce, they are individual pins (nails) as one is lose, and does not affect the other side. 2 Quote
Mister Gunto Posted February 28, 2019 Report Posted February 28, 2019 Nice! I love the detail in that kabutoagane. Interesting to see how it differs from the Type 98's. Do you have any pics of the blade? 1 Quote
Ooitame Posted February 28, 2019 Report Posted February 28, 2019 Nice example and interesting mon. Quote
IJASWORDS Posted February 28, 2019 Author Report Posted February 28, 2019 As mentioned in another post, my blade photos are normally rubbish. But here goes. Old mumei blade. 2 Quote
