Yamano Kanjūrō Hisahide is a quite famous tester

So was this tester also the smith who made the blade? If not, is the kakihan (Kao) that of the tester?

[C0D]

it was just the tester, so the kao is the one of the tester, here's an example


If there's a mei it's on the other side

Very interesting, thanks Manuel. Do you know the smith on the other side of your example? I don't have that kao either!
