Hideaki tanto

[Grey Doffin]

Hi guys,

The other side of this nakago says, "Mikasa Hideaki Saku" (made from steel from the battleship Mikasa by Hideaki); this side has me stumped. I've played with the picture to make the Kanji more visible; it doesn't actually look like this in person. This tanto will be for sale.

If someone could tell me what this says I'd, once again, be very grateful.

Thanks, Grey

You guys need an alphabet.

I can't make out the second to last kanji. 小山氏?持 Koyama Uji (x)mochi. John

[Nobody]

The last part may be 所持 (shoji - possession).

[Tcat]

I believe it says '小山氏兵持'
