Shira Saya & Mei Translation needed on Tanto

[Edward G]

Good Afternoon Everyone: I need some help translating the writing on both sides of a tanto shira saya, it appears to Maybe be a Honami family inscription, although it possibly is not an original inscription, In any event, it is for sale and I am considering purchasing the tanto....Any help is deeply appreciated.

tang says SoShu Ju Tsunahiro... shirasaya says same + length of blade on one side, other is the date sayagaki was done, looks like Showa 18 1942 and the name of the person who wrote it, can't make that out
