Usubas with wa- or namitetsu jigane?

denfetafrukten · Jul 2, 2015

Hello!

I've been searching for an Usuba with watetsu or namitetsu jigane and haven't found a single one.

Anyone know of a bladesmith who could do either a custom job or one that does usubas with wa- or namitetsu on a regular basis? As long as the heat treatment is good the hagane can be pretty much any high carbon variety. White, blue, V2, tamahagane, swedish...

Yeah i thought of that, but as weird as it sounds I nor anyone i've talked with have ever seen an Usuba made my Yoshimitsu. That makes me a bit nervous ordering such an expensive knife. On their website they only have Nakiris for example; http://www.yosimitsu.com/2.html
