RobertM Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 Hi all, Just wondering if its possible to find out any more info on a WW2 smith called KaneMori 兼守. I see on Rich Steins site that his real name was 西田 林弥. I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to translate that for me. I have a extreamly nice kai gunto made by him, although it is showato I still find it fascinating. I understand that showato are looked down apon due to thier construction, however i feel it remains important from a historical point of view. Many thanks Quote
