Hi celtan,
Have you checked if the blade is older? Is there a mei on the nakago? Peter |

Hi Pete,
Not yet, this is as received. I will start treating the leather, then general debriding and physically cleaning the blade with a 4-0 xxfine brass scrub, then removing the tsuka before polishing an cleaning with choji oil from Kissaki to nagako.... I intend to leave the nagako as polished as the blade, so I can see myself on it. : ) NAH! Just Kidding, mate. : ) Meruy Xmas! Quote:

Celtan,
Why all the work? Just use some acid to clean it, thats much easier! Merry Xmas to you too. Peter |
