soo ive been meaning to get pix of my nice blades up for awhile... but im lazy... here they are...

the black one and the last one are for sale... i dont know much about the origions of any of em... except 1... they all came from a nice collectior who died... sucks to be him but i got a great deal so whatever...

the middle one is not japanese... the japanese had rules for their blades as far as how long each part shoulc be (a range not a specific) this is a single handed katana where the handle curves the opposite direction... ive looked into it and the best i can see its korean... they dont have rules... they just make blades to fit the person... i guess someone liked single handed katanas or maybe had a pair and fought with dual katanas... idk

but here are the pix

oh yeah... cant forget my one piece folded steel knife

excuse the last picture, my cameralikes to jumble pictures (as weve seen in previous threads)

I always thought weld fold steel was cool, though not as cool as tamahagane, sadly, I cant afford either.

*Drool*

Just out of curiosity, what are the kanji that you've got engraved into the blades

--KJ4IPS

the swords are all folded, the knife is pattern welded (not folded) and i have no idea what they blades say man, if you find out please let me know

I think i got 4 out of 5 for the one in Crane.JPG

?? Dont Know This, not in my book.

云 Say

一 One[number]

太 Plump,Thick,big around[think wealthy]

郎 Sons(number of)

if you cant see the characters, they are JIS codes 313E,306C,4240, and 4F3A respectively

Maybe we can find someone on here that reads the characters much better than me.

sounds like he is calling himself fat lol


in the languages thread there were a few that said they knew japanese...

Is that all yours? Wow.........Your a very fanatic with knife.
