Keep in mind that Kanemichi had many students and it wouldn't be unusual for these to be made in a shop setting with multiple smiths making swords under the Kanemichi name.

Fair point John,

I have a Kojima Kanemichi blade in my collection and have spent a fair bit of time looking at other war period Kanemichi blades. Yes you see a lot of variation in the mei, but none of them kave a nakago jiri that looks like the blade in this thread. They just don't have straight edges like that.

Cheers,

Bryce
