    Not bad, if there was a starter blade I would think this could be one. Tons of study time there.

    Respect for standing your ground I did search by his name all over 7K good luck

    Not a member place to say overpriced. A truism in many fields especially in Nihonto one never gets back what one puts into a polish. Unless top ranked Nippon polish.

    I get a feeling that the habaki was added as we're the rest of the parts. One wouldn't expect the habaki to stick out above the mune.

    Probably the best learning tool to begin with. You'll know better next time and to ask before you leap. Onwards and upwards.

    Ran we don't do offers. You have to have a fixed price and go from there.

    Always good to see another Christensen join the fray. Clean shingunto good on Gpa for taking care of it to be passed down. The tsuka is made to come off and on for maintenance, so once you learn the proper procedure you'll have no worries about doing it again. Welcome aboard looking forward to seeing what you have.

    Kaneyoshi mei

    Stephen replied to Polaria's topic in Nihonto

    I disagree I've had a Kaneyoshi from ww2 with a mei above the Ana. I put it older Shinshinto era The shot I sent to JSI https://www.Japanese...shigata/kaneyosh.jpg

    Those help a lot. I think you have a shinshinto blade. The crispness of the cut doesn't take it back any farther.

    Stole this from another post. A Pic like this would help. AND the blades measurements.

    What's missing is the photos of the blade nagasa kissaki. The first photo says a lot the angei of tsuka to saya is very telling. Agree it's a Frankie. Terrible light of the tsuka it washed any color of the patina on nakago, try natural window light. So full shot of blade no fittings, geometry of the tip. Oh and pic of hamachi please.
