Dear ED & Geraint. I thank you for your response. I am new and always learning. its great to have this site to turn to for advice and education on Nihonto. this sword stood out because of the kanemoto name. now iam starting to learn what that means and this is not thy kanemoto 1 gen. . I thank you for you time.

hi jean thank you for your input. i understand. this blade is in Gunto mount WW2 army. that would be late gen? what about the tang looks like they cleaned it ? does the Mei look genuine?

hello to all. searching the auctions. found this piece. I have two questions. is this a real kanemoto Mei? and the tang looks cleaned off to me. wouldn't that ruin or devalue the blade? sorry for the poor photos. limited access

hello to all members. my name is Mario. I am an electrical contractor by trade. and part time Nihonto enthusiast /collector I am very new to the game. I've been studying Nihonto for two years in my spare time.my passion for Nihonto grows with every bit of info I learn. I have a lot to learn and very excited I found this forum. I see there's plenty of very knowledgeable people on this forum. I look forward to learning a lot from the members and getting to know new people who can share their passion for Nihonto.
