兼綱 Kanetsuna
1石州兼綱 Sekisyu Kanetsuna
2應安六百年前 Ouan600years before
1 Sekisyu are written on tha saya,but I thik its a mistake of Nosyu.(濃州)
2 It is written that Ouan's time around 1370 was 600 years ago.
But Kanetsuna was the author of the Muromachi period, so I think 450 years appropriate.

I think what is written on the saya is not a name but a numbering.
He was active in Seki city Gifu prefecture
