Darcy, thanks for the info. It's ubu and signed shigetaka as I could find references for the yasutsugu school I couldn't find anything specifically about the shigetaka line. But Makes sense that they would as well. Thanks again!!

Much appreciated! I googled and checked what books I had but came up wanting.. Thanks again!

Were Echizen smith known for making katakiriba katana? If so any references? Thanks in advance!

Im trying to get him to be more reasonable on these but... I will continue to work on him!

I just left my friends house and he has these.. I can ask sizes if interested!

Well played! https://www.dropbox.com/sc/w5nenb8g8g553js/AACWrc5PX0KlpssGqmHrPxCga

Thank you sir!!!

Im trying to find additional info on awa no kami fujiwara yasutsuna. I know he was an Ishido den smith and I think moved to Osaka later in life. Does anyone have any oshigata or any references for this smith? Thanks in advance!!

I have a chance to purchase this tsuba with a tanto. Its obviously over cleaned, but I would like thoughts on the mei and if this looks like an edo utushi or older? I apologize as I only have this one picture of it. Thanks!!
