rodrig4 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Posted November 17, 2013 good morning. I would like to have an opinion on this blade because I have taken the liberty to fly some technical features. 920g weight Size: Length 34.1 "86.5cm Length of the blade 21.9 "55.7cm Sori, blade curvature 0.5 "1.2cm Width of the blade, at the motokasane habaki 1.2 "3cm Age: MUROMACHI, to around 1460. I'm no expert but I found some matches with one of the schools YAMASHIRO. The hada is masame hada with some chikei and Utsuri. The hamon is suguha, Gunome midare or koshi-no-hirata midare with activity yaki kusure. The nakago is Mumei. This blade is the period MUROMACHI. Quote
Drago Posted November 17, 2013 Report Posted November 17, 2013 Hi Rodriguez. I'm afraid this is not Muromachi. It's a Gendaito. See those red marks on the tang? That's where numbers used to be. Those were used to keep track of the blade during production. And did you notice there is a hagire near the tip? Sorry, those aren't really happy news for you... And btw: Why did you open a new post for the continuation? You simply could have posted a reply... Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted November 17, 2013 Report Posted November 17, 2013 This looks like it is coming from ebay. I cant remember the seller precisely but I am convinced I saw it there. [ Edit : I knew it.... The lord without a fief... see below ] KM Quote

KM You're rigth Jan ..... Morever, a second hagire seems to be in the kissaki, near the rust. ???? (The same black background of the seller .........54eb) Quote
Gunome Posted November 17, 2013 Report Posted November 17, 2013 Age:MUROMACHI, to around 1460. Hello What are the criterion that lead you to think it is Muromachi blade ? Quote
