Hey guys,

 

I recently got my dirty little mitt's on 2 swords in excellent shape both in full high grade type 98 mounts, Nagamitsu and Kanenori, so i heard before that kanenori is ranked as a 1 million yen smith? im pretty sure he is up there with some of the better smiths from WW2 era is this true and how or where do i find a list of this information? and im not sure about Nagamitsu i have heard he is meant to go alright on the hammer too?,cheer's

Never had a Kanenori, so can't comment on him. Have/had several Nagamitsu. IMHO, his work is excellent - papered by both the NBTHK and NTHK. For info on Nagamitsu see:
