Hey everybody!

I'd been meaning to get a shot of everything for a while, and decided to lay 'em all out and snap the photo. Will go in for better closeup details with something better than this iphone I've been nursing along on life support. In the meanwhile, here we go!

Top to bottom, left to right

Folded steel German longsword
Naginata Pole
Mono-steel shobu zukuri wakizashi, Mono-steel shobu zukuri tanto
Mono-steel shinogi zukuri katana
Mono-steel osoraku zukuri tanto
Folded steel shinogi zukuri katana
Folded steel hira zukuri tanto, folded steel shinogi zukuri wakizashi.

As of right now, the shobu zukuri blades still need polish. Everything else is ready for use!

Thank you

I've like full ray skin wraps on saya ever since I saw the Sleep Eyes of Death series when I was a teenager. Very cool.

Hahaha, it's good. Not on the same level as Zatoichi or Lone Wolf and Cub, but still great. Ichikawa Raizo plays a half-Japanese, half-Portuguese child conceived during a black mass who grows up to be a super-swordsman outlaw. Campy and awesome. It's also called Nemuri Kyoshiro.

Yes it is! I'm finally getting the blade out for polish, which is why it was broken down in the shot. There's a copper ferrule right where the nakago ends which will reinforce that point. I figure it should be more than sufficient, if naginata-no-saki were usuable then this should be too. It is extremely forward balanced, but not unmanageable.

Later plans for that one include a kodachi mount as well. The idea here is to have a modular kind of thing going on.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT
