That's right (toshin)
-
At least you were able to buy with full knowledge of the facts, which is the only way for me to do it.
-
The answer is 3 because there is a reading direction for the hamon (imagine yourself watching an oshigata); the explanations will come later because there are other questions first. What is hamon? 1- part of the blade 2- a separating line

I suggest some reading exercises of hamon, there is nothing to gain except knowledge; to do this thank you leave the books aside it would be cheating What is the correct way to read a hamon (way of holding the sword)? 1 - vertical, edge to right 2 - vertical, edge to left 3 - horizontal, edge down 4 - horizontal, edge up

If I remember correctly, Douglas McArthur is said to have said during the Philippines campaign about the Japanese: “We are fighting to save our skins, they are fighting to die. Clearly, Asians don't have the same relationship with death as us Westerners.

There is no 魚道 listed in the Nihonto meikan. 兼道 is engraved on the nakago of this tanto and nothing else. I would add the kanji 魚 reads GYO or SAKANA; Different ways of writing Kane 兼

A word about amateur polishing
Jacques replied to Brian's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
I'm going to play devil's advocate, but the respect for individual freedom that some people advocate must also apply to this subject. The owner does what he wants with his object. Not all swords deserve to be religiously preserved. For me, for example, showatto have no value whatsoever. -
From what I can see, they don't look like chikei; personally, I'd look toward a bad application of nugui, but I can't be sure. As I can't stress enough, you can't judge by photos.

Would you like a Rai Kuniyuki? Here's one
-
How are swordsmiths listed? By artist name, that's all. Kunitoshi and Rai Kunitoshi are two different artists, and if you call the former as the latter, it doesn't make sense.

i know this sword it's a rare one with a tachi mei, it's signed 豊後國行平作
-
I'm a physicist, so I'm rigorous (maybe a little too). Rai Kuniyuki doesn't exist, but Kuniyuki of the Rai school does.

It's always interesting to know the motivation behind a choice.

Dog is fine kantei answer : ECHIGO NO KAMI KANESADA. For those who are right, can you say which generation and why ?

Are there any swords signed Rai Kuniyuki?
-
i had a bike accident (a dog knocked me to the mat) i have 5 fractures including one at the head of the clavicle my right arm is immobilized so i can't use the mouse and i have to type with one hand so i'll keep a low profile.

Since it's Christmas and there are some who have difficulty reading a hamon I'll help you : Hamon is a Toran midare mixed with elements yahasu.
