Learn to look at what you need to look at.... This sword has been suriage, which means that the takanoha yasuri are not the original ones. -
OMG
-
Juyo or simple hozon, the mei must be soshin...

You have to prove that it's not a gimei... https://tokka.biz/sword/hikisada.html https://www.nipponto.co.jp/swords6/NT330167.htm

Unfortunately gimei, the ji Seki is engraved in a wrong maner
-
I recognized my mistake, and just because I made a mistake once doesn't mean I make mistakes every time. Sadakazu (shodai) and Sadakatsu. That said, I wonder why I'm still here. I'm getting tired of reading all this nonsense, so I'm going to make myself scarce. Some people will be happy about that. For the answer, those who are interested can just ask me via PM.

These two smiths have a particular way of engraving certain tagane (they are vertical). I ask which ones and why.
-
Bryce, You still haven't answered my question, and I'll tell you why: You don't know the answer. For someone who claims to be an expert on these two swordsmiths, that's a bit silly. An oshigata is not a photograph; there are things that cannot be seen.
-
And you are unable to describe the characteristics that these two smiths have in common. You still haven't told me how you knew it was a daimei.
-
Right (you own Fujjishiro's shinto hen) but how can you see it's a daimei ? I've a big doubt the third (from left) on the above line is a Sadakazu from Meiji... https://eirakudo.shop/token/tachikatana/detail/838671 I'm waiting for an answer to my asking
-
Not even, that's why daimei have deliberate differences (Kunisada for example). You still haven't answered the question. What do you think about this one ?
-
@Bryce Nice strawman... Angle is still wrong. What about tagane makura ? Totally wrong! You've never seen engraving a mei. They can be identical with exactly the same number of hammer blows.
-
Wrong, there is nothing in this mei to suggest that it is by Sadakazu. This mei is engraved clumsily, whereas Sadakazu's is very regular, and there are obvious errors (red circle). As for the rust and wear of the mei and yasurime, they are highly suspicious for a tanto from that period.
-
Ok. There are some peculiarities in the way the mei is engraved. I ask you what they are. It is visible to the naked eye.
-
I don't think Markus has seen all the existing blades; many are not documented.
-
You are not answering my question, even though it is quite specific.
-
Can you tell me what is special about Sakakazu's mei?
-
More than 70 Osafune Sukesasa, good luck to find this one.
-
Nice observation and thanks for the kind words (they are so rare ) When Tsuruta san says not guaranted, you can understand gimei.
-
You'll never learn and that makes me sad
-
David, I'd like to know what interests you about Nihontö
-
Again, without having attended a shinsa this is just speculation. What I want is proven fact.
