Nothing on the other side. Thanks for your help!

Is there any other info on the mei? A date?

Awesome! Thanks!

Hello. A friend of mine picked this sword up last weekend and would love to know a bit more about it. Hoping to get the the mei translated learn any other general information about it. He's been very appreciative, but I am not much help on the subject. Thanks in advance. Cheers

I just want to say that this is a fantastic book. Thank you for your work. Shawn

Thanks for the informative response!

You answered my question before I could ask it! Cheers

Awesome. Thanks.

Second novice post. I'm trying to learn from samples that I have on hand. Is this Hitatsura hamon? Or is the Hada making it look that way? Both? Thanks!

Thanks for the informative reply! Especially considering my vague question. I'm sure everyone here appreciates the difficulty in photographing a hamon but I've tried to get some better pics. Hopefully they are of some use. The pic of the full blade is altered (light adjusted) only to better show the overall pattern. Again, much appreciated. Cheers

Hello. Novice alert! I'm wondering if this hamon looks traditionally done (authentic), or more for cosmetic reasons. Many, many thanks. Cheers, Shawn
