My production tanto, the Asuka by Musashi Swords. Note that the hamon halts at the yokote. Also note that the flash is rendering the hamon inaccurately bright.

Nice <3 is it kanmuri-otoshi zukuri? since i can't see the ending of mune well on there. It's quite unusual for hamon to just stop at yokote - wouldn't that make kissaki more fragile?
Also - can you post a pic taken without flash?
>> Doppelganger !.97.to9elc

U-no-kubi zukuri. As for the second bit, I suspect it may make the kissaki tougher (Apparent lack of hardening), but can't hold an edge very well. Image without a flash would have to wait until Wednesday.

LOL... Moon language steel

FYI, you are NOT cool if you actually own a japanese sword, you're just a person who needs a phalis shaped object to make yourself feel better.

meh, that's what i meant >_> - kamuri-otoshi zukuri having top part of shinogi-ji cut off halfway down.

wouldn't not tempering kissaki make it softer actually? most of the hamon lines over kissaki that i know off go all the way down [like yakitsumae, long/short kaeri, ichimari, jizo, kaen, etc]

Yeah, softer -IS- tougher. When you temper something, it becomes harder and increases its brittleness. But that is necessary in order to have a durable edge. The Japanese, Chinese and Nepalese decided to get around this by differentially tempering the edge from the body. Other methods exist, such as sandwiched-layer construction, for instance San Mai in Cold Steel's blades.

well apparently some people use caps a lot to make themselves feel bigger.


anyone have a picture of a whole nodachi next to an odachi?

pink one looks fake.

are you sure these swords are authentic rather than merely wall hangers?

>>143628

no, sry don't have any pic like that with odachi/nodachi, lol

>>144347
heh. well my sword came with 3 year warranty against blade braking[not chipping tho, beaking in half or getting seriously damaged] from the smith - that was quite awesome, since in a way it shows that he is confident in his forging skills.
