tbonesullivan Posted November 16, 2020 Report Posted November 16, 2020 So, this is from a tanto that has a VERY faint hamon. Definitely in need of a finish polish, and it's only really visible on one side. it's almost like an angled sawtooth. I thought maybe some variant of GUNOME? YAHAZU? Getting pictures of this was not easy, but my iPhone was up to the task. Using a scanner showed zip, and originally I thought it didn't have one. Quote

Also just found these pages: http://meiboku.info/guide/form/hamon/index.htm https://www.yaegaki-kai.be/iaido/katana-parts/hamon/ Gyaku (Oblique) Choji maybe? Seems to be the same as Saka (slanted) Choji. Nokogiri-ba (Sawtooth)? So many different types. Quote
