Construction methods of Japanese swords

[Peter D]

Part of my work for the site involves making the field of arms collecting more approachable and less arcane. This is how I attempt to create interest among younger people who are less inclined to buy and read books.

 

Many of the articles are also personal notes that I update as I learn more, and circle back to when I need to refresh my memory.

 

Here is one I wrote about the construction methods of Japanese swords. A general introduction that introduces the methods most commonly encountered on swords or in the literature, and some more obscure ones.
