Hi Nicholas,

On the tsuka: numbers on the right (I guess for assembling various parts) - [  ] 六五二 - 652 though there might be one above these, slightly obscured, perhaps a western zero? On the left, in katakana: カケス - Kaketsu which I think means "approved" - at least that's the only sensible thing that came up on a dictionary search, but others might know better.

@Shugyosha Assembly numbers make sense. All the seppa and tsuba are stamped 0652. Thank you for your help.

   The sword is a custom order by Yoshihara Kuniie for Mr. Miyawaki in blackened type 98 koshirae and shargreen saya.

Looks like カケヌ kakenu, something which has been seen on other saya, but the meaning of which is unknown. A few years ago I speculated that it might be a name, but I don't think its a name anymore. Interesting to see it repeated so often.

And... @Nicholas didn't we already see this sword from you a few years ago?
