ricknoerr Posted September 24, 2018 Report Posted September 24, 2018 Have found this Tanto. This is a picture of the Swordsmith signature. I think I can figure out Aki as the first mei and Hori as the last. Does anyone recognize this signature? Quote

SAS Posted September 26, 2018 Report Posted September 26, 2018 Nice blade; unfortunately someone severely modified the nakago to fit a habaki instead of the other way around, it seems. Quote
