M Ubertini Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 Hi all, Please translate this mei. I believe it to be gendai bizen. http://postimage.org/image/l1mmh846f/ Thanks, Matt Quote
Jean Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 With Kane in the name , I'll be surprised if it was gendai Bizen.... Quote
M Ubertini Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Posted February 12, 2013 It's interesting in the fact that is choji midare. Needs a polish. Quote
Jean Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 Matt, IMHO, It's a Seki blade. Choji midare or not. Quote
David Flynn Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 It has. "Seki," in the Mei. Quote
