i see what you mean chris the workmanship is different are the two examples katana's or uchigatana?

thanks chris i have had a look at sue-seki school in the past but will go back to the looking in the areas you have mentioned wakasa no kami ujifusa only used this title for a small time as he changed his smith name to ujifusa and later generations varied there names with ujifusa in it some where sue-seki smiths some were from mino-seki schools the other side of the blade has a slightly diffrent hamon i will take some pictures and add them it hasn't got as high a togari at the start off the hamon
-
i have been looking at later generations but i believe the blade may be older than the signature which led me to believe it gimei which school would you say its from if any or area

thanks Brian i posted this in the wrong thread and listing didnt notice till it was too late lol i have done some research on the sword it matches and it doesn't if that makes sense all the books i have seen say the same as kanefusa for blade details surely there would have been some difference in tempering from sword to sword the hamon and hada kind of match the the ujifusa line but it varies from kanefusa midare i'am stumped with it it's a lovely sword in goto mounts and nice tsuba and koshirae
