Justin Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Posted March 17, 2007 Thanks Rich. Enjoy your pizza! Quote
Justin Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 I can see the hidetoshi (and ju and saku), but cannot connect with the Noshu. It doesn't look like the Noshu characters (ie. 濃州). Does anyone else have a blade with a similar inscription for Noshu? Thanks Justin Quote
Rich T Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 a maybe, sometimes creativity took over in mei carving. I may well be wrong. Cheers Rich (pizza for breakfast mate ?) Quote
Nobody Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Hi, That surely is Noshu (濃州). FYI; some examples http://home.earthlink.net/~ttstein/kanehir2.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~ttstein/kanehis2.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~ttstein/kanesan5.jpg Quote
