  1. Thanks for all information My sword is surely a traditional hand forged blade, i don't know if made with tamagane or other steel. Is it possible that the blade was forged by a Kaneyoshi that usually not forge at Inaba and changed the kanji of Toshi in this case?
  2. I’ve posted the photos of the blade on this topic

    Mumei Tanto

    The blade is very nice. But was on sell on Ebay and there was the photo of torokusho where result the nakago was signed and not mumei. I thick the mei was removed and the yasurime changed.
  9. The nakago is signed : Osaka ju Gassan Sadakazu Kore tsukuru (August 1893) Meiji 26 year - 8 Month - Horimono made by himself
  10. I've fond this katana at an estate, the horimono is well carved and also the sword seem to be well forged, hamon it's a very good choji with many hataraki, and also it seems to have also midare utsuri. The nagasa is a bit short only 64,5 with 1,8 of sori. What do you think about it?
  11. I've found this blade it will be shinshinto, have a nagasa of 56 cm and a kasane of 0,9 cm and the nakago is 26 cm, and over the horimono the blade became u no kubi zukuri, the mei is not totally readable but have a kiku shoei. Anyone hava an opinion about it? _____________________________________________________________________________________ Stefano P.

  14. Can anyone help me on traslation of the tang of this nakago, on the ura side is write Shigemitsu, on the omote side i've tried to translate Meiji 13 ........ Thanks on advance -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stefano P.
  15. Sorry but this sword before the suriage was an odachi? I ask that beacouse is about 70 cm of nagasa with only 1 cm of sori the kasane is very big for a kamakura blade and also there isn't any funbari and the width at the kissaki is too large for a normal tachi. Stefano P.

  18. I don't know if you ever buyed from tis seller 11z1942, I've won this auction http://www.ebay.com/itm/171444646290?ss ... 1497.l2649, and after i payed this seller tell me that he haven't the sword. And told me it was a mistake beacuse this aucton it was scheduled and he have repaired and sell the sword. But this sword was just on ebay with some problem (kojiri missing) instead in this auction the kojiri is present and the auction is new. I think he don't wan't to sell beacose the auction haven't reached the price he want. This is the old auction http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Japanese-SAMURAI ... 1068073451 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Stefano P.
