bluboxer Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 There is a very sweet looking tanto on ebay that has an interesting mei.If I may attempt to translate,it looks like Kinju.Could this blade date from 1319 or is this style newer? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=019 Alan M Quote
Jacques Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Hi, I think the mei looks more like Kinmichi or kindo é‡‘é“ than kinju é‡‘é‡ and if it is this one, it is from late muromachi. Quote
Stephen Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 looks like it would be a good project, too bad one cant see it in hand to look for kizu...btw looks to me more of a wak than tanto. Quote
bluboxer Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Posted February 22, 2008 Yes Stephen,I believe you are correct,my apologies.The blade is described as 15" cutting edge. Alan M Quote
