Any thoughts on this mei? Tight mokume with masame mixed in in some areas, jizo boshi, the work looks right...?

Good eye Joe! Another member thought it was him as well. Horrible tsukamaki and acid polish. I've been harassing him for a year + on behalf of someone who doesn't live in tje states. I have phone and Facebook info and he responded with another fake eta that has since passed.. -
Not going to happen... An ubu Magoroku Kanemoto daito in issaku handachi koshirae. In the realm of maybe, there is an echizen shigetaka daito begging for me to own it.

From my understanding gyaku-menuki positioning is more practical as it sits in the palm swells. Most if not all tachi were this way and I have seen quite a few uchigatana with the menuki in this position. On gunto swords up to about 1943 I see them in the reversed position then the remaining years they were switched back. Regards,
-
I may be wrong but isn't there a distinction between uchigatana and katate-uchigatana? I don't think the tsuka length would matter unless we are talking about katate-uchi only. Regards,

Just my opinion but with correct saya-biki a 32" sword is easy to draw. Our soke is 5'4" and swings a 34" blade with no issues and can draw it on you in very close proximity. I think it just boils down to what you train with and what you prefer. Regards,

Sorry, but grow some thicker skin! You are asking for opinions and the majority of members have seen several hundreds if not thousands of these fake swords and i believe a little harmless humor while confirming your suspicions is not that big of a deal! Edit: Sir Grey posted as I was typing

Name not kamon, Kawamoto I believe. Regards,
