Thank you very much! Now I begin to understand (see my reply to Hamfish). Have a nice weekend!

Thank you very much! Now I begin to understand! Of course if one is concerned only about producing more swords, won't want to waste too much time inscribing a long and detailed signature, then waste even more time inscribing a date... And yes, the hada is very, very fine on my sword. Hardly visible with the naked eye. Surely it took a lot of time and many foldings to come up like this. Thank you again for this short, concise and very welcomed lesson! Have a nice weekend!

Thank you very much for your message and photo! Yes, I got my sword from Aoi Art, and I recognize the gentleman in the photo from the photos I have seen on Aoi website. I somehow guessed he is the owner/ manager of the shop, but I didn't know what is name was. Now I know! And, yes, I am pretty sure it is a nice sword, and now I know it is not a mass produced sword but a very carefully produced one.

Thank you for your message but I don't know who Tsuruta san is. How can I contact him? Regards, Marius PS: Now I know who Mr. Tsuruta is. Thank you once again!

Thank you for your comments! I actually love this blade as it has a deep sori and looks almost like a smaller Tachi (at least in my eyes). And the Koshirae is very nice as well. I assume it is a katate-uchi Katana (or katate-Uchigatana), right?!

Hello, I am a novice collector and recently purchased the Katana in the photos attached below. I would like to know if it is a mass produced sword or it has much more merit?! Signature : Bizen koku Ju Osafune Sukesada Saku Tenbun 16 nen 8 gatsu kijijitsu (August 1547) Blade length : 65.2 cm or 25.67 inches. Sori : 2.4 cm or 0.94 inches. Width at the hamachi : 2.93 cm or 1.15 inches. Width at the Kissaki : 1.77 cm or 0.70 inches. Kasane : 0.63 cm or 0.25 inches. Regards, Marius
