marivo Posted September 13 Report Posted September 13 Hira Zukuri wakizashi, signed Kuniyoshi Saku. Is this gimei? Blade lenght 35.5 cm. Curve 0.6 cm Motohaba 3.1 cm Aikuchi koshirae. Is it suriage? Quote
Rawa Posted September 13 Report Posted September 13 It dsn't look shorten at all. Blade is in good shape. Kanbun era? But mei is different from 2 Kuniyoshi active in this period. I'm going to look for more examples with this nakago jiri. https://nihontoclub.com/view/smiths/list 1 Quote
Shugyosha Posted September 13 Report Posted September 13 It’s not suriage - might be a fraction machi okuri but that might be my eyes? Nothing to worry about though IMHO. 1 Quote
Rivkin Posted September 13 Report Posted September 13 Unfortunately can't see jigane. Evening, light from a side can fix that. I like what I see though, probably Soshu imitation. Regarding the signature I would deal with it after studying the work itself. 1 Quote
