  1. Hi Georges, Thank you very much for this information. That does not bother me that it is a gendaito. I was not sure it was a Shinshinto sword. If the blade is elegant and well forged I prefer to have a good gendaito a koto sword with great failure which has unfortunately only a historical value. Best regards Jérôme
  2. Thank you Gentlemen for your answers. Someone would it provide informations on this smith because I have nothing in my books. In any case I do not know if it was a great swordsmith but the blade is very elegant with beautiful hamon. I post more pictures this week-end. I'm really impatient to be polished. Jérôme
