  1. Taking offers. Selling most of my blades so no trades. Thanks, Keith
  2. Blade 21 5/8 inches Total 27 1/2 inches Sori 5/8 inch The blade is in very nice polish. No nicks, cracks or damage to the blade. There is one ware (I think it would be considered a Shinogi Ware) about 3 inches from the tip. This is not a papered sword. Very rare maker.
  3. One more picture of the other side. Let me know if more or better pics needed. Thanks, Keith
  4. Here's a tang signed on both side. Have no idea as to the maker. Any help is much appreciated. I added a close up of the lower part of the tang where it had deep rust. I also blew it up some so the characters are more visible
  5. I almost forgot! Hi Dan, No, my tang doesn't have any characters on the other side.
  6. Thanks for all the help, guys. Was hoping that the furniture and the groves might help discover the smith. Looking at the tang with a magnifier glass shows horizontal file marks all the way across the tang with leftward slanting file marks closer to the habaki on the upper half of the tang. Almost impossible to see with the eye.
  7. If you look at the bottom of my tang, you can see the start of the next character. I added another tang and was wondering if this is the maker? Thanks, Keith
  8. Here's a close up of the lower tang, you can see the start of the next character.
