I will do that👍

Unfortunately I am missing the second Menuki. And since I am very new to all of this I wouldn't know where to find a specialist.

Unfortunately There is nothing visible on the tang

Hello together, I recently got my hand on this sword and wanted to learn something about it. Since I do not have a lot of expertise I did some research and with the help of some members of this community, I already learned so much. But there are still unanswered questions. How old the piece might be? Who most likely owned it? What is its purpose? I'd also like to learn more about the Smith, who going by the signature on the Tsuba appears to be Kanenori from the shoami school. Every bit of information is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks ill post more pictures now

Thanks for the answer I'll post some more pictures now.

It does belong to a small Katana. I believe those are called wakizashi. I will post a picture after I come home from Work. Thank u for ur Answer.

I will thanks a lot👍

Nice to see you again. Thanks for the advice to ask here😁 I am also glad you are wrong. But I'd still like to learn more about it's origin.

Thank you very much for the answer. The Signature appears to say Kanenori Shoami. I'd like to know how old my sword might be. It's a quite short sword maybe a Wakizashi, and has a little knife hidden in the scabbard.

I appreciate every bit of Info I can get. Thanks in Advance.
