petere76 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Gents, I'm looking for the width to blade depth ratio on Japaneses knives and swords. Looking for the finished material dimension ( thickness) after forging at the spine and the related depth, I.e. Width of the respective blade. Any info or a decent source would be appreciated.

Steve Sells Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Good luck getting an answer, now if you were more period and location specific you may get an answer. Swords made around 900AD were made differently than they were in 1300AD and different than 1900AD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petere76 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thanks Steve, I swa the lack of data out there and I just thought to ask. We generally think .25 in on the spine is the "chopper" utility knife but.....some of the edo period swords are considerably less robust and yet, effective beyond belief.
