Aloha Bob,
Thank you for sharing that store, it is so close to what I experienced. I truly believe in what the late Mr. Yumoto sensei told you (“He once told me that if a sword does not like someone, it can actually have life and cut that person”).
Here’s the wakizashi with the notches on the nakago. The blade and mountings (was restored) is not all that good but bought it because of the notches on the nakago. Only after purchasing the wakizashi that the incidence happened.
Bob, would a samurai notch his sword as to how many kills he had? Does the notches look old and was it done during the period? Could the notches mean something else?
Mahalo,
Rodney
Notches on the nakago and the cuts on my upper shoulder:
