Here’s another one that has me stumped. I believe the first name is Kane but I cannot figure out the second. Any help with this translation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much,

Here’s another one

Tom,

Is this yours?  If so, are there small stamps on the nakago mune (back edge)?  

You know about the RJT star-stamped blades, right?

 

Could we get a couple shots of the hamon and fittings?

I will definitely get you some more pictures Bruce, hopefully in a day or two.

Bruce, here’s a picture of the stamp on the tang mune. I hade to run to work so I’ll try and get the other pictures you requested taken later today or tomorrow.
