What does "Echizen no kuni ju kanetsugu" mean. Even after living in Okinawa for 2 years I was never able to pick up the language. Thanks Troy

My appologise for not signing. I am not sure what the information on the sword smith page is telling me. Can someone broaden my knowledge? Thanks Troy

1600's? Well, seems the sword is older than I would have thought. If needed I can take another picture of the tang if that would help. I do appreciate the help so far.

Greetings, I am new to the site and have need of a translation. My father has given me a sword and he gave me the history of how he came by it, but unfortunately he is unable to tell me anything about the sword itself. I have a picture of the tang with the Kanji. I am attaching it and some other pictures so if someone is able to give me more information I won't complain
