    Thanks Klaus, yes, seen that article. What I’d really like to find, if anyone has it, is a photograph of this smith. I’ve never come across one to date.

    A pic from Nagamitsu or Emura is a big mystery... many would like to have incl. me :-)

     

    Attached some pics from my Nagamitsu

  10. Wartime smith Tadayoshi?

    It is not that surprising, as there are many meikanmore smiths. However I am curious if there is any relation (in terms of lineage/descent) to the gendai knife maker Tadayoshi Seiichi, who signs his work 忠義作.

  12. Wartime smith Tadayoshi?

    in Military Swords of Japan

    Hello,

     

    sorry to reopen this old thread but I have a question concerning Suzuki Tadayoshi.

    A friend offered me a blade which is signed Yamato (no) kuni Tadayoshi (大和国忠義) and dated Showa 17, 4th month lucky day (April 1942).

    Chris Bowen told me that the only smith, he is aware of,  who signed with 忠義 is Suzuki Tadayoshi.

    But unfortunately he has no more information about this smith available.

     

    Therefore, I kindly ask if anybody (maybe @PNSSHOGUN) has some information about this smith.

     

     

    Many thanks in advance.

    Klaus
