tbonesullivan Posted July 23 Report Posted July 23 This actually came out of a Type 98, and the blade is not signed, but it does look to have a very nice temper line. However, I can't really decide what shape it is. I thought maybe HAKO (box), but it also has some YAHAZU (notched) aspects. I know how hard these can be to describe, as well as to picture. I hope the pictures will suffice, as I don't have access to a real setup for properly photographing Japanese blades. Quote
