Erratum: I made a mistake in the translation of the signature in the description. The sword is signed Kanetsuji, not Kanetsugu. The correct signature is Kanetsuji.

Hi Rokujuro I don't think thay the signature can be read as kanetsugu. Kanetsugu is 兼次.

Hi Robert, I thought the regulations had changed and that it was impossible to send swords to Canada, but if you know a way, I would be very happy to ship the blade to Canada. When you receive blades from Japan, which company handles the delivery? I will go check on Monday morning at the post office. Have a great weekend.
