Hi all, many thanks for helping me out with this blade! Bruce I hope this pic of the 46 is clear enough? Is this a batch number? Thanks Rod

Hi the blade is in pretty bad condition with no hamon visible. I gather it is Takehisa not Akihisa? The 46 is very small. There is a small stamp on the edge of the tang as can be seen below. Thanks Rod

Hi I have acquired a Shin Gunto blade and was wondering what the translation meant and if it is the swordmaker etc. There is a very small 46 stamped near the start of the blade as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rod Sydney
