Not meaning to threadjack but talk about stories swords can tell - here\'s a picture of
a kirkomi (sword strike) on the mune of the sword - and you can see that there\'s still
a chunk of the other guy\'s sword embedded in it...
FWIW, the seppa on the sword in the earlier posting looks like it came off a WWII army gunto koshirae.
Here\'s a link to somebody who has a good image of the various bits:
And here\'s an obligatory picture from my basement studio (with a tsuba on the
table even..)
Autopoles are your friend if you have a small space - I can\'t believe I worked for so
long w/o getting some...
Best,

That\'s an unusual seppa; is that a modern replica, or a genuine nihonto?
It\'s real, circa 1680 (ish). Wakizashi length. Iron tsuba, temple dog menuki, leather wrapped handle. Scabbard is black lacquered wood. Blade is pretty nice...has a couple of nicks in it. Bet it could tell some stories...
