This is a before picture of a 21 1/4" wakizashi signed Yamashiro Daijo Kunishige, covered in deep rust.


Here is a closer view of the same Yamashiro Daijo Kunishige blade after full polish. After about 2 weeks work, this blade has gone from junker to treasure. Scroll down for another shot of this blade's finish.

This is a detail of an o-tanto I just finished signed Kunimichi.

This is the same Kunishige shown above. This image shows the great activity in the hamon and ji-hada just above the ha-machi.

Sorry, I can't update this page more often, but it takes a lot of time to get good close up images of blade details and I'm busy polishing. ^_^
