I have another Katana which i could use some help with translation.  This is my very first acquisition which started me on the path to collection.

 

You can see that the tip is chipped/missing . . .still razor sharp though

 

Nothing on the reverse side of the tang  :-)

That’s my try….

 

”尾州浅野住真野國泰鍛之” 

 

…seems to be Mano Kuniyasu?!

(If I’m right, then it reads: “Bishū Asano Jū Mano Kuniyasu kore o kitaeru”)

Ed,

 

in case you are purchasing blades on a trial-and-error base you are certainly correct. But with some reading and comparing (= schooling your eyes), you should be able to avoid blades like the second one and have more fun with the good ones.
