You all have to excuse my ignorance but I´ve never really catched the thing about bohi... as I understand it makes the sword lighter (well duh...) but does a bohi give a sword other difference from a sword without bohi? Is there other advantages with a bohi? Is there any disadvantages? I myself is not a big fan och bohi ... why I don´t know, it just is that way.
When did japanese swords first use a bohi?
And also, what´s the difference between hi and bohi?
As I said before, you all have to excuse my ignorance. But hey, that´s why I´m here, to learn. :)
EDIT: I found my answer on the hi-bohi question just by looking back in the forum threads, I feel a little stupid now. I can pop another question then:
When chopping easy targets like waterfilled coca-cola bottles (made och plastic), do you need to do a full cleaning of the blade? I´ve done it efter every chopping and my oil is starting to drain out, and I have to be economic så that´s why I wonder.
