I never realized the hidden blades were also used as eating utensils, but that is pretty cool.TLJeffcoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380592100458330369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018004797669959252.post-44238229123911669182011-12-17T20:45:02.128-06:002011-12-17T20:45:02.128-06:00A neat thing about some tanto swords or even wakiz...A neat thing about some tanto swords or even wakizashi were the even smaller blades some had through the hilt, which were used as eating implements. <br /><br />I also love how once the blade is tempered it has that soft wave just beyond the edge. :) Beautiful blades.Gloria Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170079541864985683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018004797669959252.post-49557326884516973292011-12-16T06:15:09.246-06:002011-12-16T06:15:09.246-06:00They would look awesome over a fireplace.

Someday I'm going to settle into one place for long enough to get back into karate and maybe give kendo a try. Then I can justify having a set of swords on the wall over the fire place. :PLindsay Burokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07955277387824031696noreply@blogger.com
