hxv Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 Vladimir, The mei looks like Kanenori. I don't think it has a hamon, at least not one that I can see. Hoanh Quote
Fumei Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Posted March 13, 2016 Hoanh, Yes, hamon on this blade looks like a thin strip. Quote
hxv Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 Vladimir, It's Kanenori, dated September 1942. The hamon is not real. It's either acid-etched in or sand-papered in. I would stay away from this one. The kissaki is a dead give away. There is no boshi at all. Hoanh Quote
Fumei Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Posted March 13, 2016 Hoanh, Thank you so much. You helped me a lot. Quote
