Demande d'avis sur la dernière arrivée

[French nihonto]

Hey guys
I would like to have your opinion on the last arrival in my collection, the blade has no paper, the nakago has a very dark rust, very black, is quite deep, which does not stand out in the photos, it seems ubu. the blade has a rather impressive hamon, hard to transcribe in the photos unfortunately. the hada appears to be an itame-hada. For the tradition and the time I have some ideas, but I am waiting to hear your opinions

ps: sorry for the bad photos

an idea of the school or the time?

[Shugyosha]

Hi Max, 

 

I’d guess at shin Shinto based on the fine kitae and colour of the patina on the nakago but some photographs in different light might reveal more detail. Can’t help with a school.

 Thank you for taking the time to answer john, yes the pictures do not reflect reality, in particular the activity of the hamon. I show you this blade because I bought it from very bad pictures (worse than mine, that's to say), not hoping for much, at best a correct blade, at worst a study piece, and once the blade in my hand I have was very surprised, and higher end, than I thought, from these bad pictures.

I like it.  Looks interesting.  Is there masame in the shinogi-ji ?

[French nihonto]

thanks Dave, I think there may be some masame in the shinogi-ji, but the grain of the steel in general on this blade is so tight that it's hard to see. On the other hand, I am almost sure to see the itame in the hiraji.

i think it might be interesting to send it to shinsa. At the price I paid for it, I don't risk much. Have the sessions resumed since the interruption linked to the covid?
