I certainly appreciate the input, the nagasa is 26"

Anyone have a clue about this Katana, it is unsigned at 34 inches and is a very thick blade with nice grain but cannot see much of a hamon at all.

Well I certainly appreciate everyone's expert advice and input, thank you very much.

To my knowledge it was my understanding that the mei listings are not definitive. A local expert has already examined the Kissaki, this blade has no fatal flaws. The hamon is suguha.

Thank you, I am not worried about naysayers, I know it is a nice blade, especially with the fittings and date, I appreciate your input.

Do you have any opinion on the fittings?

I will post better pictures of the fittings ASAP! Thanks everyone

It needs a good polish, would this be a good blade to submit for papers?

I picked up this Wakizashi a few months back, looks like a nice blade. It is signed Tada Mitsu, could anyone help me with the translation or maybe some help with the date, or markings on the fittings. This is a great board and I am glad I found it, any help is greatly appreciated.
