  1. Hi, I saw this sword from Sumitani Masamine and everything was perfect except this unusual mark on both sides of the kissaki. Does anyone know what it is? (a flaw? on purpose?) and what might of physically caused it?
  2. Hi I saw a Sukehiro katana for sale and the mei looks like echizen no kami sukehiro. However It doesn't have papers and seems too good to be true. Here's the mei, all the black and white ones are real. The colored one is in question. To my untrained eyes the mei seems to fat in some areas. ​What do you guys think?
  3. Thanks Darcy, The seller hasn't put it through Shinsa just yet. And I definitely think you are correct, that Kanemoto katana is a Kanesada, just the mei got cut. Anyway, why do you think the Nosada signature feels "a bit off"? Personally I've been wondering why there's no "saku" at the end of the mei since I usually see Nosada mei's with the Saku. Tony
  4. Hi, I'm fairly sure this is a Kanesada katana, but was wondering which gen Kanesada it might be. I'm not very good at reading Japanese and was wondering if anyone could identify the smith. Regards, Tony
  5. wow, I'm super jealous-- haven't seen a kamakura period in that great of condition for some time. Tony
  6. Thanks for the reply! I actually thought the hamon was somewhat irregular/inconsistent which might be a good thing....but the Mei I find odd since it's one of those stamp meis.
  7. Hi, Anyone know if this is a real Magoroku Kanemoto 2nd generation katana? any help would be genuinely appreciated since I'm thinking of buying it. Sorry for the unfocused pics, they are not mine.
