seppuku Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Hi everyone Is it acceptable for the hamachi to be smaller the the munemachi on a shinshinto sword, would this be a flaw. thank Quote
Jean Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Without pictures it is difficult to say or see what you mean. Picture of the area concerned and picture of the mune machi taken from above After quite a lot of polishing a noticeable difference between both can appear Quote
seppuku Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Posted January 30, 2011 Hi Jean I have requested the use of the link, but in the meantime the measurments are Length of hamachi is 0.06 inches Length of munemachi is 0.073 inches Quote
seppuku Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Posted January 30, 2011 Hi All Here is the link (Link removed as requested below - Admin) Thanks Quote
Mark Green Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Everything looks pretty normal on that sword. Very nice in fact. Mark G Quote
Brian Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 More than very nice, I find that stunning and gorgeous! I would be over the moon to own it. Brian Quote
Ted Tenold Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Hi All, Just to be clear, I am not the seller of this sword anymore. That listing is quite old, and is still in the background on my site I guess. I pulled the listing from view at the owner's request a *long* time ago. It was subsequently offered by another dealer later down the road. In order to prevent any potential confusion with the current seller, I've asked Josh to remove the link and provided him with two images of the machis that clearly illustrate the health of the piece. This sword was shown at the NBTHK/AB lecture in San Francisco last year. It is a stunning piece in hand. Quote
seppuku Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Posted January 30, 2011 Sorry Ted That would great if you could Provide photos thanks Quote

Brian Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Josh, No flaws regarding the machi here, and if you are considering it, I think you are looking at a wonderful piece in exceptional polish that would be the envy of most collectors.. Brian Quote
seppuku Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Posted February 2, 2011 Thanks for the replies Just wanted to make sure that the hamachi being smaller than the munemachi was not a flaw thanks Quote
