IJASWORDS Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 How many military sword collectors have Kanbun blades? Here are two Kanbun (1660-1670) swords compared to the usual curvature example. Swords of this period were almost straight. Thought it may be interesting to show the difference. 11 Quote

PNSSHOGUN Posted May 3, 2020 Report Posted May 3, 2020 Interesting topic, despite Kanbun being a short era I have seen many Shin Gunto with classic blades from that era. I have two & thought I had taken more photos today but the gremlins got to them. Will pull them out again tomorrow, top two are Kanbun (Musashi No Kami Kunitsugu & Mumei) blades, bottom is Suriage Koto for comparison. 6 Quote
