    Thank you guys. You have made my doubts true with these answers. It is signed very strange and the blade looks blown up. Almost round and not flat. You are the best guys thanks.

    Thank you very much Geraint. The last link you have sended is exactly the sword i have. That is the one my friend had won on ebay. He told me he had won it for 5 or 600 $. So it is a very fair price. And you can see the pictures of the blade. He had mailed the seller a few times but did not get a reply. You are the best. Geoffry

    Thank you Stephen. I was asking some of these info because i wanted to sell the blade. Because i cannot find a good koshirae for it. I am looking for a nice koshirae for almost a year now but i will let the new owner search for it. It is now in a custom made koshirae but that is not the place this blade needs i think. But now i have read some info about the father and son signed mei it is a very interesting blade i think. So if you are interested in please let me know Stephen. Geoffry

    Hello everybody my name is Geoffry from Holland. A week ago i was on a market and found an antique wakizashi. Unfortunetly the tang is a bit cleaned by removing some patina and rust. It is a shame but the seller told me the blade is from 1360 and it was made for a Japanese lord. I have a little feeling that this is not what the mei says but i do not know anything about Japanese writing so can anyone please help me out please? Thank you very much. Geoffry

    Here are some pictures at least of the tanto blade . The custom made koshira is my own work. So do not think it is an antique one but it is a homemade akuchi style koshira done by myself.

    Hello guys i have searched the internet for the smith but did not find much information on this guys name. In some days i will post pictures of the complete tanto knife. It looks more like a big kozuka knife to me. Maybe this will help me out finding some more information. Best regards

    Thank you Greg and i will post the pictures when the pro polisher has finished the blade. Cheers

    Thank you guys for your help. Stephen there is no crack in the blade at all. It looks like a crack but it is something like a black vain or something. I will use your tips and hoping to get a bit further in my search. Cheers Geoffry

    Hello sir i have contact my polisher today and told him your opinion. He agreed with it and has stopped the polishing project. He did not remove a lot of the sword sir. He was polishing with the uchigumori do stone. And he made some slurry with this stone together with the mikawa nagura stone. He made the slurry very very fine so there didn't come any scratches in the blade at all sir. But now you can clearly see the hamon on the blade sir. And there is a lot more to see like an almost silver foggy temperline sir. And on the tops of the peaks you see very nice kristals everywhere. But it is almost not possible to take a picture and show it sir. Because what you see is not 50% of the beauty of the blade sir. Thank you for your opinion and inwill let an expert look at it sir. I have got some extra pictures of my polishing friend to show you the blade. I'll hope this will help trying to find out who made it. Thanks everybody for helping me.

    Hello sir i have changed my nick to my real name sir. Thank you for your comments. I have phoned my polisher and going to try to contact the polisher in Amsterdam. Best regards

    The pictures may be a bit different from each other because you see some different polishing stages. And it is not finished yet. I will post the final pictures when i have received my waki from him. Can't wait hehe
