Thekirsh Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 Gents, This is a blade in my collection that has always had me guessing, nice choji and Togari gnome which is identical on both sides. It also has a long kaeri Any ideas on school would be greatly appreciated. Nagasa - 400mm O suriage Thanks Simon K Quote
runagmc Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 Maybe Mishina school... just a guess. Also seems like I've seen Ujifusa/Kanefusa swords with hamon along those lines... again, just a guess. Quote
Lance Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 I'd agree with Adam's mention of Kanefusa/Ujifusa, hamon looks similar to hako midare, uniform repeating pattern suggests Shinto period, maybe one of the Mino Kanefusa smiths/group? Regards, Lance Quote
Toryu2020 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 I might be looking at Kashu Kanewaka school - if I had to say this looks more like a yahazu-ba... -t Quote
Thekirsh Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Posted May 17, 2014 Thanks for the information guys, I had seen an Ujifusa that had similar traits but Kanewaka or Mishina never came to mind. It has one, possibly two fukure so it's probably not worth a polish . Thanks again Simon K Quote
