I wondered what this kozika blade with mei

小林河内守國助 - Kobayashi Kawachi no kami Kunisuke as prevous reply

I know it was not a true mei so why would it be put on a kozuka blade?

I do not know this smith!

What Uwe is saying is that if you look in the giant swordsmith database or Meikan, you will discover this smith who for some reason had the habit, or liked to sign with these two characters 小林 Kobayashi.

 

Often the addition of a Mei to a Kozuka blade is there to show respect to a certain smith.
