Hi, I'm wondering why there is a discuss about chinese item on a board dedicated to NIHONTO -
Hi, I think that the fakers would have to make the same tools than those which are used by the smiths they have intention to imitate. It seems not to be the case with this blade. :lol:
-
HI, Oshigata come from Kanzan Shinto Oshigata Dictionnary (which is an affordable book). But it doesn't contains more informations than those on the oshigata.

Hi, I have not seen this thread, but for those who can be interested by this smith:

Hi, Lee, Can you post a picture of this blade? Sometimes, photographies don't show up all details (it's why good oshigata are often better to compare).

Hi, I have NTHK kanteisho dated from heisei 6 and it doesn't look like yours. Specially the mei is written in thick characters.

Hi, Darcy, If i were a forger, i would have exactly the same synthesis you have; and i would be almost sure that my "victim" would be less attentive with a Kanenori than a Kinju or other top smith. :D It is only only speculation, but that's funny to try to imagine the thoughts of a forger.

Hi, You're always right Jean Author: Honma Junji

Hi, You must be aware kiritsuke mei can be a way to increase the value of a sword.
