Lance D Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 I recently Prchased this sword and I am Very Impressed with the Quality of the blade. I am Very Curious to know who the Smith was. Any information would be Very Helpful. The second picture is the Tsuba, which is also signed. Thanks in Advance! Lance D. Quote

SwordGuyJoe Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 Your smith is a Seki tosho named Ikeda Kanetsuna. From Markus' index, he writes that his civilian name was Ikeda Tsutomo and was born 8/13/1907. Quote
