Hello, I wondered what people thought of this sword. Is it hand forged? Is there hada? Is the hamon water tempered? I think I see nie, but I'm a novice. Have I got the tang translation correct?
Seeing as finding out anything concrete about the swordsmith is difficult, I was curious how people would rate the sword itself. Hard to do using my limited pictures, I know.
Tang: Seki ju Mayegawa Kanetsugu saku kore
Tang: Seki Arsenal stamp
Or Maegawa Kanetsugu?
Any ideas w
