Thank you Bruno for sharing your wonderful journey. You have revived a kantana and a piece of history that would otherwise probably be gathering dust and not being loved.
I doth my hat to you sir.
Birnando you are a very lucky man, congratulations.Last edited by markbignosekelly; 12-11-2014 at 08:57 AM.

Remind me to hide my stash of old Japanese tamahagane if I even invite you to my place
Awesome razor! A trick I found to get a better view of the hamon is to use a flatbed scanner instead of a camera.
One sample from the stash (16th century, torii-zori, chu-kissaki, ubu nakago, shinobi ana, mumei):

My sword was not mumei, but I couldn't figure out the kanji. I'll see if I can get a decent pic.
For those who don't know, mumei means anonymous, unsigned (lit. no name).Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

In fact the geometry of the Ottoman is strangely compatible with the cross section of a sword.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
