Agree, blade looks traditionally made. Could even be an older one.

HELP!

Can anyone read the inscriptions?

Also, a couple Qs:

1. The wood peg holding the hilt together has "gone beyond". How should I substitute it..?
2. I'm trying to fix another tsuka, it's wood halves are held together with a black goo in the caudal (kabuto-gane) area. What is it made of, how should I remove it and with what material should it be replaced with?

Best, and merry Xmas to all!

Manolo

Hi Celtan,
Can you provide sharper pictures of the inscription please? It's difficult to read kanji, and even more so if the photo is unsharp.

Hi Stekemest,

I took about 16 pics with the macro. Those were the best ones!

I'll put some chalk on the inscription, and take a new batch.

Merry Xmas!

Hello Manolo,

Do you mean the bamboo peg that fixes the Tsuka to the blade by going through the hole in the nagako ? It shoud be bamboo, not ?
