Alex A Posted June 8, 2024 Report Posted June 8, 2024 Interesting write-up, get what he's talking about. Best thing i ever did was buy an unaltered blade, gives you a different perspective. Quote
OceanoNox Posted June 9, 2024 Report Posted June 9, 2024 A fresh perspective that makes a lot of sense. From the point of view of a iaido practitioner, I have only dreamed of using old swords to practice, but this makes me appreciate the newly made shinken more. Quote
Alex A Posted June 9, 2024 Report Posted June 9, 2024 It was watching a video that had Gassan Sadatoshi in it that got me into looking into modern swords, think it was called "the Japanese sword" or something like that. Just watching him make the sword, any modern smith in fact and just thinking wow, just owning such a sword, an art work. It brings a really strong connection that i don't get with older swords. Not to say i don't like old swords; Quote
