Hi all!
I'm another Echizen (or maybe kaga?) sword owner!

I was studyng my blade and searching some new ideas on the net when I see this topic: my 2cent is that the best naming is notare ni gunome.
please be more careful with the blade.... the photo of the blade on that dirty table give me the shakings.... :? :x
koshirae is very good and well preserved in the years, blade needs some refreshening by a good polisher.
I think that the blade passed trough a important suriage so it's more probabile that it's a Koto sword. The small sori make me doubt
Surely koshirae is more modern and made when the blade was shortened.
