Jock Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Hi Folks, I bought a new nihonto - sadly a bit over my budget meaning I have to sell 4 of my blades to finance it....but couldn't resist as it was love at first sight... I wondered why would some of the blades have this red paint applied to them ? I saw this a few times before on a yari etc...... Thanks for your opinions.... Jock PS: I'll not mention where I got it from and for how much to avoid uneccessary discussions...trying to focus on the blade and it's history only! Quote
