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

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!

Celtan,
Why all the work? Just use some acid to clean it, thats much easier!

Merry Xmas to you too.

Peter
