Latest blade has arrived from Japan..shinano daijō fujiwara tadakuni ( second gen )

[Jon]

Just got this long awaited blade from Japan, I’ve been really looking forward to seeing this in hand and it was not a disappointment. Any thoughts, comments or if anyone has any good insights into shinano daijō fujiwara tadakuni or the school that would be great.

 

I got this for what I consider a steel as well ( I do like a bargain).

Details of blade:

[Ooitame]

Intersting Mt. Fuji hamon, not sure about the waves referenced. @JonAre thre more peaks/crests? Could be wrong though.

An Aoi Top Notcher, well done Jon.

 

Remember seeing this sword and wondering if the hamon was a unique one off, as cant remember seeing another like that by 1st or 2nd Tadakuni

[Baba Yaga]

Nice catch.    What's the Nagasa? 

 

Opps, I see it now.
