nihonto1001 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Hi: Mune-??? I was hoping someone could get the last kanji of this mei. Maybe even some info on the smith if convenient. Thanks ahead of time. Quote
mywei Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 My mistake Is this a showa-to? Only reference to Munenaga with this kanji was a Seki smith Quote
nihonto1001 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Posted June 10, 2013 I thought maybe Muneharu. But, I could not verify that name either. Quote
David McDonald Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Dear Jon Might be Nishibe Munenaga. some of his blades have Seki stamps see Hawley MUN 297 good luck david mcdonald Quote
cabowen Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Can't say for sure without more pictures but I would bet this is a showa-to. Quote
nihonto1001 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Posted June 10, 2013 Yes, Munenaga, agreed. Looks like it has some gendaito characteristics. Seems to have hada, as well as nie in the hamon. Here is a pic of the blade. Thank you again, gentlemen. Quote
