loiner1965 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 would the learned gentleman say this hamon was gunome or 3 cedars....opologies for the poor quality pic but the blade needs a polish to show the hamon of better....thanks in advance Quote
Mark Green Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Hi Steve, If it is three cedars, I would say not a very good job. Gunome-midare is more likely. It may help to see more of the hamon, or a bit from both sides. Mark G Quote
loiner1965 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 will try a take better pics of it but its quite tricky to do... it does go all the way round the blade but i might try and scan it as well as i think jean or jacques described how to do it on an earliar posting Quote
loiner1965 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 just checked some hamons on his other swords and they describe it as flamboyant gunome Quote
