Matt, it would make sense for you to post which papers the blade has. NBTHK, NTHK, Hozon, TH, or what?

NTHK as can be seen in the images

I think image 5 reads Kan Tei Sho, I am confused.

Dear Malcolm.

 

You are right of course but why puzzled?  Standard NTHK kanteisho envelopes as far as I can see.

 

Or have I missed something, which is quite likely.

 

All the best

This is a nice length Daito. Do the papers state the generation?

Thank you Geraint, I have only seen NBTHK, so did not know how it was designated NTHK; but then, I am very easily confused..........
