Mikaveli Posted February 28, 2024 Report Posted February 28, 2024 Just a guess, but if the intention was to hide the crack, they could have carved more material out. Instead, to me it looks like a crack formed along the horimono, not the other way round. 1 Quote
Tensho Posted February 28, 2024 Report Posted February 28, 2024 The yari looks to have a few forging flaws elsewhere. Either way, the horimono looks very poorly carved. Not sure why it isn't more centered on the blade. 1 Quote

Obviously he only sells "scratch-n-dent" merchandise, but thought the carving was worth posting if it were an attempt at covering a flaw. John C. Quote
Matsunoki Posted February 29, 2024 Report Posted February 29, 2024 Imo, carved to disguise the crack. That’s why it's ”off centre” and poorly carved.You can also see the crack (more likely a hadaware?) extending from the lowest bit of the horimono Quote
