Kanefusa / Seki Stamp

Recommended Posts

For the first time I'm seeing hada on SEKI stamped sword.

Did Kanefusa made them at least half traditional?

Just got this sword from a board member, discussed in "Minotagawa Naval Swords"

 

I thought that SHOWA STAMPED blades are sometimes traditionally made, and SEKI is always machine made.

Does anyone else have a Kanefusa that could confirm this?

Not to spark up a debate about something, but never say never - or always for that mater. First, a seki stamp does not always mean a machine made blade. There is a good chance you have a showa-to blade, but you may have gendaito. Although it is difficult to tell from the single photo (for me anyway). Let the disagreements begin!

 

Also, if you have more pics, I would love to see them.
