Bruce Pennington Posted Tuesday at 02:55 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 02:55 PM Vedran, The Showa stamp was used by the civilian Seki Cutlery Manufacturers Association on inspected blades between 1935 - 1942. Most dated blades were made in 1940 - 1941. The hamon (temper line) is quite flamboyant! I like it. Care and Cleaning: Japanese Sword Care - Japaneseswordindex.com 1 1 Quote
