    Hi, welcome to the NMB, these all appear to be cut down nihonto pieces. Probably from being illegally owned and not registered in Japan. They aren't of much value and would be thought of as scraps. I hope that makes sense. Neat reminder of what they were originally, being from real swords. Their lives literally cut short. Regards, Ron

    Hi everyone, do we know if anyone is going and will take our pieces if registered? I live on the East coast and would need an intermediary to accompany a submission so any help is appreciated. I know it’s a hassle for sure as I have done this before with some reputable and amazing people. Regards Ron

    I see the bottom three as Ju YoshiKuni. Not sure of the upper two, maybe Chikushi

    Hello and good day. My karate student asked me to translate this mei and I’m unsure of the character above Hide Saku. Any help is appreciated and I’m always grateful. Regards Ron

    Hi guys thank you again, here are some hamon pics. Can’t see the much as it’s out of polish. Thanks

    Bruce, here are the nakago pics. Unfortunately it has no other marks nor a mei, and no hint of any other stamps regardless of appearance. Thank you for your time and effort toward creating and keeping files for these items. Regards and respect Ron

    I suppose the next question is are these considered nihonto in that they are forged? Thanks for the replies so far, my friends

    Do you think this number 211659 coincides with this hotstamp? Seems so, for the type of steel used on mine

    Thoughts on a wak

    Ron M posted a topic in Nihonto

    Hello all, I picked up a wakizashi, 53.5cm, long, appears to be ubu iriyamagata nakago-jiri with takanoha yasurimei. The hamon looks like rounded chu gunome on one side with a few showing points as well. Wondering what schools may do this, as I didn’t think Mino used this jiri that much. Please give any thoughts if you have the time to reply. Thank you and best to all. See pics attached

    What an awesome read! Well done on your work for this and I appreciate the pictures and text translations.

    Ordered and now waiting to see another one of your amazing works, Sir!

    Bishu Osafuna Sukesada. Many smiths used this signature. Could be any era pretty much but an honest older blade

    Screenshot them and add them one at a time
  19. Ron M
    I would suggest showing the rest of the sword altogether

    Maybe Kanetada, I believe

    Hello to you all, if someone would venture a guess at any details gleaned from this tsuba I would appreciate it. The design on back refers to what? Is this something normally associated with the dragon? Just asking and sharing a recent pickup. Thank you

    Good evening to you all, any help is appreciated. I think it’s Yoshi, but the second one cannot be Yo. Not sure how it’s rendered when read. Thanks
