Tengu1957 Posted January 27 Report Posted January 27 (edited) I bought this years ago at a gun show. I have never submitted for Shinsa . Please excuse the bad photos but if you have any thoughts about school or period I would like to hear them. I had always thought the kissaki was a little shorts ( temper is all there ) . The Hi are well made and it's healthy. It's 70 cm Edited January 27 by Tengu1957 Forgot to add length 1 Quote
Rawa Posted January 27 Report Posted January 27 (edited) Late muromachi/early Edo in my opinion. I don’t see clear jihada but maybe some late gen chiyozuru? Really dense grain. Maybe older? Nakago was shortened but jiri looks like shaped to reminiscent original. And this kissaki looks reshaped. More measurements please maybe photo with clear sugata. Overall feels like fat and healthy. Definietly worthy of appraisal. Edited January 27 by Rawa 1 Quote
eternal_newbie Posted January 28 Report Posted January 28 Agree, nice clean lines, good length, tight hada and seems quite healthy - definitely worth sending to shinsa. If the kissaki was reshaped, it was done with skill - the boshi is still very healthy and doesn't look out of proportion to the kissaki geometry. Quote
