Blood and hilts

Hey, that's interesting! I did a search on Muramasa, and (besides it being Wolverine's Sword : ) I found about the legend.

BTW: I'lm truly. a lil'bit scared of the d. thing. I showed it yesrerday to a friend, and nothing happened, but I was afraid it would slip and pierce my foot or something. I actually told my frind no to step in too close.

I used to practice Kendo, and had heard about the competition between the Masamune and the Muramasa swords (didn't know their names, though) but the version I received was that the Masamune? was superior because its very nature caused the absence of conflict.

The info I obtained on my blade is that it's a Gendaito made after 1926, and that the armourer's name was KANEZANE. I just purchased a Hilt set in England, and hope to eventually find a suitable habaki, which it's also missing.

But the blade is in dire condition, and there's no way the cost justifies sending it to be polished "a la niponese".

Best
