    I'm hoping someone can help me with the translation of this mei and identify the stamp on this tang. Thank you very much. Tom Foster

    I picked this up several years ago and still have not been able to find out exactly what this is. It looks like it could be made by a Japanese dress sword company but the only markings are the serial numbers that match on the drag and the handle. Does anyone know what this is? Thank you very much, Tom Foster

    Stephen, thank you very much for your insight. Yes, it makes complete sense that it is assembly marks and not a mei. Tom

    Hi all, I picked this dirk up years ago and figured the great people of this forum might be able to help me. It has an unusual shaped blade and an upside down tang signature. I believe it translates Yahori. Has anyone else seen an upside down signature and if so what does this mean?

    Thank you very much Steve, but what is a RJT smith? Sorry for my ignorance. Tom

    Thank you all very much for your comments and expertise. Yes, the seller knew what he had but he wasn't sure of the smith. I see that there are several Kaneshige's, could this possibly be the 1 million yen smith? Thank you all again, Tom

    Gentlemen, thank you all very much! That was a very fast reply! In the future If I have any other translations I will post in the appropriate forum. Thanks again, Tom

    Hi all, this is my first post. I picked this up recently and need assistance in translating the tang.I tried to get each side of the tang in one photo but it wasn't clear enough so two photos per side. I sincerely appreciated any comments. Thank you all very much, Tom
