Loki Posted January 1, 2016 Report Posted January 1, 2016 Hi, it has been known for a long time that blades signed by Kunimori were made in bulk by a smith in Shizuoka prefecture named Mitsukoshi Hiromasa, and that information was provided by Yasuhiro's own son. I guess this is why the blade at shinsa was awarded a pink slip. This information was discovered by Chris Bowen and I find it amazing that the myth continues to this day, there is a Kunimori blade on eBay which is relisted regularly - ho hum.
