Kai Gunto Mei Help?

I recently found this at a pawn shop. I’ve spent a couple hours online trying to identify any of these to no avail. Hoping some of you might be able to help.

I would give "Chikushu ju Yukimitsu saku" a try.....!?

I think it is Tsukushi Yukimitsu, also signed Miike ju Yukimitsu.

Far better Brian!

I was, anyway, not happy with my "pseudo shu"....

Uwe,

 

         Don't  worry about it... It's just that my friend had a blade by the same smith, that is why I remembered it.  Just got lucky...

 

         Now if only I could learn how do attachments to my postings....Ha!!

Awesome. Thank you gentleman. Apparently I have quite a lot to learn on these. Now I’m at least heading in the correct direction.
