I have been working on this sword during Covid lock down it seems to have a Kaen boshi any thoughts ? Thanks Geoff Ps I had a problem putting my comments on listing so had to dad this .

Yes it is Kuninori not Kuninobu also it is the same smith as the Tanto MarcoUdin showed . Just has not much about him .He did win 3 gold and 2 silver medals in the Japanese swords exhibition and was ka shibata student so he may of been a good smith.

Can someone please look in their Oshigata Book of Modern Japanese Swordsmiths 1868-1945. Slough. book . I do not have this book and I am looking for information on Kuniyoshii a RJT smith first name Suzuki He did go under Kuninobu as well Thank you

I have found a shortened sword with a very wild Choji Juka Hamon its now 53cm long . Is this Hamon in the style of the ichimonji school? Out of polish but is very bright and wild Thanks

The Tanto is quite long at 32cm Thanks
