tokashikibob Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 Gents, Does anyone have a Kunisuke 4th Gen Mei reference? Bought this piece to fill a type missing in my collection. The mei is not close to any of the big name smiths but I saw a 4th Gen in Nihontoclub and wondered if this may have a legit mei vice gimei to a lesser known Kunisuke. Best regards, Bob Quote
Vermithrax16 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 I came up empty Bob, sorry. Maybe someone else will chime in. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Doesn't look good to me, generally the Kunisuke line signed with quite deliberate strokes. Without a reference I would be skeptical and look at the blade closely for this schools hallmarks. Quote
Surfson Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Looks to me like a Kaga blade (based on the shape of the nakago), on which somebody has put an Osaka shinto mei..... could be wrong though! Quote
