Minseito1941 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Posted June 2, 2023 Is the ashi welded to the saya or is it removable? Thanks Quote
Spartancrest Posted June 2, 2023 Report Posted June 2, 2023 https://www.japaneseswordindex.com/military.htm Ashi - also known as Obi-tori. I would guess that they are held on by compression and should be removable - you can buy detached ones on ebay. - https://www.ebay.com/itm/284750401368 Quote
Minseito1941 Posted June 2, 2023 Author Report Posted June 2, 2023 Do you know how I should go about doing that? Thanks Quote
Spartancrest Posted June 2, 2023 Report Posted June 2, 2023 Sorry I am not an expert on the sword assembly - I think if you ask on the Nihonto forum rather than the Tosogu one, you should get more help. I think it just needs a good downward tap and it should loosen but someone else will know. Quote
