Nicholas Posted November 14, 2021 Report Posted November 14, 2021 Is this katana Shin Shinto or older. 30” nagasa. Very tiny kissaki. Quote
ChrisW Posted November 15, 2021 Report Posted November 15, 2021 It appears to be shinto to my eyes. But that nakago looks odd. Maybe the lighting is playing tricks on my eyes? Quote
Nicholas Posted November 15, 2021 Author Report Posted November 15, 2021 Thanks for the reply Chris. What looks odd about it? Quote
ChrisW Posted November 15, 2021 Report Posted November 15, 2021 Well, the weathering and aging on it looks off. But it is probably the lighting. Any chance of a picture under daylight? Also, its a very slender blade for its nagasa! (which I really like). Quote
NewB Posted November 15, 2021 Report Posted November 15, 2021 Tough to say as photos do not show details of hada or hamon My take Muromachi ubu Too bad the nakago didn't age well however I think you might have a good blade depending on how much of the kissaki is gone J. Quote
Nicholas Posted November 15, 2021 Author Report Posted November 15, 2021 Thank. I originally thought muromachi but the lack of curvature threw me off. I will take better pictures tomorrow in the daylight. Quote
dwmc Posted November 15, 2021 Report Posted November 15, 2021 Perhaps Kanbun Shinto ?? Example below... Dave M. Quote
