Stegel Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 This thread WAS hard to find.... thought i'd add to it and bring it back to the top. Not the best pictures, but a really nice blade to hold in hand and look at. Ujifusa circa 1770 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwmc Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 This may not be the highest class Shin-gunto. However, I suspect it would be a welcome addition to a most collectors looking for a fairly nice looking gunto in good condition. Also, as Stegel mentioned above, simply trying to keep the thread active! Regards, Dave M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4l700 Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Time for me to show my gendai Ishido Teruhide mei with kao. Not sure if it would be considered 'high-end' but I absolutely enjoy it! Photographs are realy hard to take of blades, I hope the sword and the pictures speak for itself The sword has a fully hardened kissaki(ichimai) if I am correct, hard to tell from pictures. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeder Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 These are two of my favorite blades. Not exactly high class gunto mounts, but top notch smiths and both with a nagasa of at least 27”. Top - Imai Sadashige. Bottom - Tomita Sukehiro. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know what most people think of that, but with his 40 year experience, polished blades by him that got papers and the Japanese that are actually interested in his polishing I took the chance. The blade was a wreck before and now I'm quite happy how it turned out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi David, I am no expert in polishes so won't bother you with your choice! 😜 May I ask you to post several close up photos of the nakago itself? I would like to see how good Teruhide used to finish them (crisp lines and geometry, yasurime). Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Bruce, Thanks for your appreciation, but(fittings) its not as clear as it looks... I do not know about the hot stamp. It maybe smith personal stamp or work shop mark. As who the smith may be its a mystery. My friend from SF (LK) thinks its a Masatsune, he has one with a very similar hataraki. Pity a blade like this not signed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
