Thought I would start a topic, I have not seen before
on the polish of Japanese swords!
I know we have a few members on this forum who could explain
to collectors just what it means!
I have never had any special swords that needed more than
some semi chrome applied!
What makes a sword special for such a thing? Is it age,swordsmith etc?
Is it to remove flaws?
My quess its got something to do with value of sword!
I hear not to send to American but Japanese for this! Why?
Papering a sword?
Cost? I hear its big money to do it! Increase value?
I am sure Andy,BobI,Bill Brannow could tell us something if
they see this!
So lets start with this and see what we learn!
