Originally posted by Logan09 View PostI'm fairly certain it's a Nagamaki-naoshi. The kissaki has been reahaped and the hamon significantly reduced. The nakago has been shortened(you can see the hamon runs through into it.) I don't know the nakago length, but it only has one mekugi-ana so it was shortened quite a bit. If this was originally a katana it would have been well over 34" nagasa I'm guessing.
Merdoc,
What was Paul Martin's assessment of this blade? Surely he must have said something to you about its original shape (naginata-naoshi, etc.)?
Logan, I also noticed the thinning of the hamon at kissaki; but, not being very knowledgeable, I didn't know if this blade had been reshaped, or if it was originally intended to be this way.
I keep learning from everybody's posts; thanks!
