Hello all,
I am new to the forum. I have watched for a long while. You all seem to be very good people. I want to know, is anyone interested in Kyoketsu Shoge blanks? They can be used for practice or sharpened as wanted. The 1st one I made back in 82'-83 was round stock based off of my teacher that was a very young intern in a WW2 camp that had learned from his father. I can not give you history or a pedigree, just can put out a poll.
These are stainless steel blanks of 1/8". The ring is 4.5" x 1/2" W X 1/8" stainless. Options can be added. As they are custom, sizes may vary. The ring shown is 1/4". I recently went back to my birth place and dug through old Budo and found my original.
The pictures starting at the bottom are:
8.5" with paracord handle
10.5" with black twine handle
13.5" raw
You can ad your own cordage. Some like chain, some do not. Same goes for the handle wrap. I can pretty much make any size you want. They have to be "blank" in order to sell through PayPal.
Let me know if you are interested.
Thanks.
Scott Hubbell
