Jon MB Posted May 12, 2021 Report Posted May 12, 2021 Nagasa: 39.5 cm Sori: 1.3 cm Motohaba: 2.3 cm Motokasane: 1.8 cm Hi Folks, Do you think this wakizashi is made as such, or is it a cut down earlier piece that is thin from many polishes? Or something else.. I don't see fumbari, and the nakago patination looks not too old, so I am assuming it has been shortened. I know it's not a treasure, just want to understand it a little better. Many thanks in advance, Warm regards, Jon B Quote
JH Lee Posted May 12, 2021 Report Posted May 12, 2021 Looks o-suriage to me. In the past, I would have shied away from such slender blades, but when they are well preserved, I have learned to appreciate their individual elegance. Quote
