My Grandfather got this in Japan, is all my Uncle knows about this sword... I study iaido, so I wanted to see what I can find out about this sword. Thank you for your help.

Additional photos could prove me wrong, but yasurime lead me to believe this is seki blade. There was a seki tosho named Masayuki, 正行 (Masayuki), real name: 三輪 友雄; listed here (http://home.earthlink.net/~ttstein/seki.htm) at the top of the list. Once you get more photos, a more educated determination can be made, rather than my guess based on some poor pictures.

Hi Quinn,

Unless you're sure you know what you're doing, don't clean your sword. Improper cleaning can knock huge chunks of value off the sword. If it's covered in cosmoline you can wipe that off with a bit of alcohol on a cloth. Otherwise, best to leave it alone.
