Blade Oshigata

Last week, Sensei sent us home with a bit of homework. All the members of the dojo were required to make an oshigata of their blade. In addition, everyone also had to label the part of the blade on the oshigata in order to become more familiar with all the assembly.

Wait, what's an oshigata you ask? An oshigata is a tracing of your blades outline. Then the small details are filed in to the tracing. This is not an easy task, if you try one give yourself a couple years to complete it :)
