Anyone notice anything interesting about the men-grille?

The luster of the vertical bar and most of the horizontal bars looks like dura aluminum, whereas the top two bars looks like titanium...it is an IBB no less...don't think it was a trick of the light or the flash....

Thoughts? :D

That reminds me of Elliot Sensei and his men that has the two bent bars at the top....

Part titanium mengane are common. Upper bars are titanium to resist the abuse of the strike. I bought several of these over the years for people.

I usually gaze at people's balls when looking at kendo magazine covers..... so I don't notice such things on the mengane. Sumimasen.










Just kidding.

No man's land. NML for short.

I changed careers and live in a new area with no kendo.
I've been de-kendo-ized... if such a word exists.
I've forgotten what it's like to demoralize a noob asking questions about which bogu to buy. Not that that was what kendo was about... or what kendo-world forum was about... oh well. Carry on the torch DCPan. Gambatte!
