Hi Eric, Kunitoki Horikawa was a student of Kunihiro Horikawa, who is considered the founder of the Shintō period, having trained such outstanding apprentices as Kuniyasu Horikawa, Kunisyu Echigo-Mamoru, Kuniji Dewa-Osumi and Masahiro Osumi. Kunitoki is thought to have been a swordsmith who was a stand-in for Kunihiro, as few of his works have survived. Few pieces of Kunitoki inscriptions remain, making it a valuable source of information. So if you find a Blade from him, thats rare. Tom
