Koltira Posted September 13, 2023 Report Posted September 13, 2023 Greetings! Maybe a silly question, but still. I came across a katana with such a hamon on the Internet. Is hamon supposed to be this bright and clean? Is it a result of good polish that it looks almost artificially etched? Quote
Brian Posted September 13, 2023 Report Posted September 13, 2023 You're not seeing the hamon there. You are seeing the hadori polish over the hamon. 1 1 Quote

Thanks for explanation! Though is this type of polish common on Koto blades? (this example above is stated as one) Quote
Geraint Posted September 13, 2023 Report Posted September 13, 2023 Dear Koltira. Rather say that this type of polish is currently fashionable so any blade polished recently is likely to have hadori polish, Koto, Shinto, Shinshinto. All the best. 1 1 Quote
