Dogditcher Posted March 24 Author Report Posted March 24 Thanks for the reply's. A family member has a few swords that I pulled out and oiled for him that hadn't seen daylight in 15 years -WD40 was his choice that he would use (After reading care for swords i got Choji oil that I used.) All the blades were in great condition. I did take a few pictures and now looking back at them i find myself with question and hope to post them here. The knowledge here is incredible -Thanks again 1 1 Quote
george trotter Posted March 24 Report Posted March 24 The name Kuroda means Blackfield....I remember a friend in 1980 who lived in Kyoto whose landlord was Mrs Kuroda...whenever her name was mentioned everyone looked down and you could tell that Mrs Kuroda was a 'tough' landlady...no nonsense. Those were the days... 2 Quote
