Yes, this is almost katana size hirazukuri wakizashi, before suriage probably around 60 cm nagasa

Jean, you mean of the Sukemume? Of the mumei there's already a picture

Do you have any similar example? I'm glad you could learn something from this post I add a picture of my signed and certified Sukemune to comparison

Don't worry about the emoticon Darcy in his post is talking about retemper, when mizukage appears in suriage blade is evidence of saiha. But when a blade is ubu is a good sign, especially if koto. In many cases mizukage continues becoming utsuri, in other cases is just a diagonal "reflection", in both cases is caused by temperature difference during yaki-ire. Whether is nie utsuri or other kind of utsuri i don't think it changes the definition of mizukage About blade i have same idea about period, Keicho shinto seems spot on. Hada shows Mino influence but to me is Shimada, i have a Shimada Sukemune with similar hada.

is he Santa? ​

Thanks Ian, do you have any pictures of his work?

Thank you Alex

This is a wakizashi that recently arrived me, i did some study on it and i have an idea about period and school, but i wanna hear your thoughts about it. Mumei wakizashi with elonged kissaki, very strong jigane and active hamon, there's mizukage and some utsuri part. It appears to have a hint a funbari and has really healthy machi. High shinogi and kasane is pretty constant all along the blade. Nagasa 45.7 cm Motohaba 32 mm Sakihaba 23 mm Sori: 0.9 cm sakizori Motokasane 4.6 mm, at shinogi 7.5 mm sakikasane 4.5 mm, at shinogi 6 mm Hamon: gunome midare with yo and tobiyaki, hada visible inside the hamon aswell Hada: strong itame with nagare/masame towords the ha. Boshi: midare

I never heard of him, do you have his website or any contact?

Hello Guido, i know Giorgio, we met before and i had a tsukamaki done by him, but i'm looking for more options out there

Hello, I was wondering if there's any sayashi (better if with lacquer skills to make koshirae) in Europe, cause i'm having a hard time finding one. Thanks to anyone will help
