    Maybe or not..

    O itame fairly hadatachi
  3. Jacques
    Nice, this will save me from having to rummage through the jumble of magazines I have in stock.
  4. Jacques
    Without having it in hands, i give up.
  5. Jacques
    On the short range. For what i can see sori seems more takenoko than uchi, is it right?
  6. Jacques
    Nagasa ?
  7. Jacques
    The sugata should tell you if this sword is Ichimonji or not... Shobu- zukuri = ? Nakago jiri is not Kaga.

    O-Mokume?

    Jacques replied to Nicholas's topic in Nihonto

    For what i can see, i would say O itame mixed with O mokume and fairly hadatachi. It can be found on Muromachi Mino swords (Kanemoto, Kanesada)

    The wear and tear of the various kanji is another red flag. In my opinion (and I mean in my opinion) it's artificial.
  10. Jacques
    Frankly, I think this sword is a sucker's catch.
  11. Jacques
    If the measurements are correct, the kasane linked to the nagasa is a huge red flag for a supposed suriage blade...
  12. Jacques
    Both are irrelevant as the kikumon is not engraved above the mei as it is on the sword discussed here.
  13. Jacques
    I didn't found an example with the kikumon ichi on that side.
  14. Jacques
    I would say it's gimei.
  15. Jacques
    Personally, I'm not competent enough to say whether this or that swordsmith is the better tanto maker. There comes a time when you have to stay in your place or risk making a fool of yourself.
