Thank you for your help and care for the blade. I'll have it back in a few or a dozen months. @2devnul Adam - this is my first katana, and I don't know how we knew each other. Thanks again, and best regards, Eric

Sword blade beginning the grinding process... the hamon becomes visible.

Thank your for your help nad great news! Wow, amazing that the blade is over 500 years old.

I recently found my first Japanese sword. Blade length approx. 61 cm (total length without wooden handle: 77.5 cm). I'd like to know if it's original? I took a photos of the signature. I'd appreciate your help.
