kani no te (蟹 の 手) - Lit. "Crab needles" Special interpretation of gunome-midare with split yakigashira that protrude alternately left and right and reminiscent of crab claws. Please note that the term kani no te is used to refer to this feature when viewed on Sue-Seki blades. In the case of Sue-Bizen's works, the term kani no tsume (aws の lit, lit. "crab claws") is established even if the same characteristic is described.

Dear Rodriguez.

 

Someone has really worked this one over, you have the sword in hand so will see more clearly but from your images.....multiple seppa, questionable iron tsuba, reworked tsuka and fittings, refinished saya, re shaped blade.  It's a tragedy.  However if it were mine I would be fighting an irresistible urge to get it polished and put it into shirasaya.  Stephen is absolutely right, this will never make financial sense especially as the hi have been badly treated but......................

 

All the best
