Franco D Posted October 11 Report Posted October 11 Additional images of the nakago would be helpful? Length? Nakago kasane? Full length images of the sword? Measurements? Overall length, nagasa, moto/saki kasane, moto/saki haba? Quote
sc72 Posted October 11 Author Report Posted October 11 nagasa 67,4 cm, sori 1,7 cm, moto haba 3,3 cm, saki haba 2,4 cm, moto kasane 0,6cm, saki kasane 0,4 cm 1 Quote
Lewis B Posted October 11 Report Posted October 11 5 minutes ago, sc72 said: Its a little blurry, but I think you can see what I was referring to on the left side halfway into the hole. That's another telltale it was punched. Combined with the nice, even (Yokan-iro 羊羹色) black rust I would suggest it was o-suriage in the Edo period. Quote
sc72 Posted October 11 Author Report Posted October 11 entire blade 85 (mune side), only Nakago 17cm (from hamachi) Quote
sc72 Posted October 11 Author Report Posted October 11 Now I have to go to work I hope Franco has all the data Thanks again Quote
GeorgeLuucas Posted October 11 Report Posted October 11 Thank you for the link and correction @Franco D, that was a really informative read. Much appreciated! My apologies @sc72 for speaking out of turn. There’s a lot more to consider than I realized, and sorry for misleading. Carry on, Thanks everyone. Back to my books -Sam Quote
Lewis B Posted October 11 Report Posted October 11 Hi Stefano, Can you enlarge the images. Sugata and hamon look really good. Quote
Franco D Posted October 11 Report Posted October 11 11 hours ago, sc72 said: Franco, can I ask you your personal opinion about o-suriage of my sword? Leaning towards O - suriage. When? Not clear. What is the widest measurement/point of the kasane of the nakago? Kasane @ mune machi? Thanks. Quote
sc72 Posted October 11 Author Report Posted October 11 the thickness of the blade at the height of the "machi" (step), very difficult to measure well, is around 4-5mm (half a centimetre), the profile of the nakago tends to "thinner" gradually going towards the lowest point... therefore the thickest point of the nakago corresponds to the part closest to the blade (machi) Quote
Franco D Posted October 12 Report Posted October 12 It is not clear and difficult to tell exactly what is going on with this sword. Needs to be evaluated in hand. Still leaning towards O-suriage. Quote
sc72 Posted October 12 Author Report Posted October 12 I agree with o-suriage, despite my lack of knowledge, seeing our reasoning here. Quote
