Tensho Posted February 8, 2023 Report Posted February 8, 2023 Arrows pointing in red at what I'm curious about. Blade has Muneyaki(yubashiri?) And not sure if it has anything do do with what I'm seeing. Quote
NewB Posted February 8, 2023 Report Posted February 8, 2023 Hello I believe - imozuru or koichigai ba. Either or. Has to be confirmed with the experts. I hope I'm not wrong. Photos from the great Markus Sesko. J. 1 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted February 8, 2023 Report Posted February 8, 2023 As always, this is difficult to decide with photos. It might well be that these are not desirable HATARAKI but SHINGANE coming through. You might be able to see this better under magnification. 1 1 Quote
NewB Posted February 8, 2023 Report Posted February 8, 2023 It did cross my mind as I could see Something looking a tiny bubble in one of the photos. Totally unrelated- I'm a big fan of muneyaki on nihonto. J. Quote
Tensho Posted February 8, 2023 Author Report Posted February 8, 2023 Understandable on the photos.. Hmm, I don't think its core steel. Looks like clusters of nie to me when looking at it in hand. Quote
ROKUJURO Posted February 8, 2023 Report Posted February 8, 2023 Yes, it is in the YAKIBA and probably not SHINGANE. Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted February 10, 2023 Report Posted February 10, 2023 Agreed, not shingane. Can't tell enough about the hamon area to determine what your hataraki might be. John could be right, or it could be inazuma/kinsuji. Pretty nice, in any case. 1 Quote
