ChrisW Posted November 17, 2019 Report Posted November 17, 2019 That is a gorgeous mei (well not a mei, but body cut date) and blade. Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted November 17, 2019 Report Posted November 17, 2019 The Hon'ami kao for that period should be Kojo, & it doesn't quite match up to the references I have. Could it be a non-Hon'ami? Quote
Ganko Posted November 17, 2019 Report Posted November 17, 2019 I believe that is the kao for the cutting tester. 1 Quote
Tengu1957 Posted November 17, 2019 Author Report Posted November 17, 2019 This is the personal Kao of the tester. He is a documented tester , see Marcus Sesko's book on Tameshigiri. Quote
