Hello everyone,

 

I have another wakizashi that I know nothing about.  This one has a signature.  Any information is appreciated.  You guys really gave me some excellent information on my other wakizashi.  No Saya or anything else.  Please excuse the quality of my pics.  Cheaper cell phone.

Hi Acxel,

Signed Rai Kunimitsu.  The earliest Rai Kunimitsu was a very important smith from Kamakura era but he never made a wakizashi (the form didn't exist when he worked).  There were later smiths who used the name; none are well known.  Your sword is either by one of them or it is gimei, a forged signature.
