October 1, 201213 yr here are some Yajiri I have made. some are to be turned into little talismans as a gift for a group of Kyudo sensi Over from Japan. forged and ground in high layer damascus and some low layer twist... hope you like.
October 5, 201213 yr Basher, How do they affix the arrow head to the shaft? These look like a file tang sort of arrangement but that seems like it'd split the arrow shaft in use. They're absolutely beautiful.
October 5, 201213 yr They used cane as I recall---however splitting the shaft in use is considered a good thing in battle as then the enemy cannot glean your arrows and shoot them back at you. (Tricks with the knocks including a trap knock that would cut the bowstring if used by someone who didn't have a knock cup on their bowstring were another warfare mod.)
