John C Posted Friday at 01:32 AM Report Posted Friday at 01:32 AM Found this on an auction for a tsuka and cut blade. I thought the cross-section showing the thickness of the outer layer and solid core was interesting. No marks on the nakago that I could see other than assembly numbers. https://www.ebay.com/itm/267171210581? John C. 1 Quote
Scogg Posted Friday at 02:03 AM Report Posted Friday at 02:03 AM Hi John, I am not so sure that is an outer layer. To me, it looks like when the blade was cut it then had the edges/corners filed slightly. Presumably to make the area less sharp. Hard to tell for certain though. Cheers, -Sam 1 1 Quote
John C Posted Friday at 02:25 AM Author Report Posted Friday at 02:25 AM I thought so too, however the different color made me think separate steel. As usual, I'm probably wrong. John C. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted Friday at 03:38 AM Report Posted Friday at 03:38 AM Believe the metal has to be etched to show the differences in steel and tempering. Quote
