Looks like a real Samurai sword ...from the hamon you can tell that its a fine blade...I believe you did very good considering that WW II machine made blades go for even more money...

Hi Dan,
Nakago means "tang" in dagger terms and oil quenched refers to a step in the cooling process.
Have a look here for ...
http://home.earthlink.net/~steinrl/glossary.htm
and here for the meaning of showato
http://home.earthlink.net/~steinrl/showato.htm
Regards,
Stu
