Hey Folks,

Sorry for the rushed pictures, its been busy around here as of late, and when work settles a bit I will take some better photos.  I am curious your thoughts on this blade.  It appears to be signed Masayoshi, but I can't quite make out the full signature.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Over all the length is 84.5 cm

Wow.  Can't speak to the rest, but the hotstamp (kao) does seem to be an imitation!  I don't think I've ever seen someone try to fake a kao before, but this one is clearly not right.  Observe the bottom character - it has a vertical line going all the way through, whereas the two in this example don't:
