Thanks a lot mecox!

Seems i was in the wrong, sorry for the false Information. @mecox would it be possible to link the list from Sesko? I would love to learn from it.

The seller who offered me the sword sent me a few things to read about Kanesaki smiths. I´m not sure where the texts come from. I will try to see from which book they are or if it just was my Translation. Also, i might have wrote it a bit confusing. In the text it describes a first generation from Yamato Province, but its actually the 2nd one in Mino that adopted the name Kanesaki according to it. So i suppose that aligns with what you said. I will try to find about more about the first guy.

Hi, I´m also in the process of getting a Kanesaki (attributed) Wakizashi Edit: removed because i dont want to give false Information

Thank you @oli!

Thank you @Sebuh! There is truly a lot to be learned :D

Hello everyone, My name is Erik, over the past few months I have gained an interest in Nihonto, mainly thanks to my practice of Japanese swordsmanship. I have been lurking around here the past few months and finally decided to make an account as well. My interests are history, antique and modern military equipment, martial arts and photography. While I like all periods of Japanese history, my main interest lies in the Kamakura period and the late Muromachi period. My collection is yet to arrive and will consist of a mumei wakizashi from the Tensho era, though it has been attributed to a smith by the NTHK-NPO. I´ll be picking it up in Japan this summer. While its certainly not a masterpiece, I still really enjoy it and am looking to learn more about it. Since I am new to the world of nihonto, please feel free to correct my mistakes whenever you see them, i dont bite
