The nagasa is 15.5 inches. Is this an o-tanto or a ko-wakizashi? I really know very little about swords.

With a nagasa of 15.5" it's firmly a wakizashi.

As for photos, if you're posting from a mobile device you'll have to select the "desktop mode" from either your browser settings or the button at the bottom of the page. From there you'll be able to access more options for posting, such as attachments. Any attachments you want to upload will have to be under 1MB, so you may need to use compression software.

Alternatively, upload your photos to a third-party hosting site like imgur etc and link the album in a post here.

Wakizashi are a great starting point for Japanese sword collecting. Most of my pre-20th century Nihonto are Wakizashi.

We have a guide on how to add pictures here (must be using the Desktop version of the site): sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/thread/62174/add-pictures Or, you can use any free image hosting service like imgur, imgbb, etc. and post links.

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

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT
