Bugyotsuji Posted December 24, 2009 Report Posted December 24, 2009 The first two characters are problematical even for a Japanese, I believe. You probably read the family name either Shuko or Sako Quote

Brian Posted December 24, 2009 Report Posted December 24, 2009 Moriyama san, you have an amazing memory Sako it is then. Good to see the members making attempts at translations lately, encouraging Brian Quote
Cuirassier Posted December 24, 2009 Author Report Posted December 24, 2009 Thanks ever so much. The blade I presumed was / is machine made. But the signature is much finer (less made out of nicks, more like a flowing signature). Is there any significance to this and the use of "Sako" or was this rather just the whim of a young or even pretentious blade maker do you think? Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays Mark Quote
