  1. Hi, Maybe i'm wrong, but i think that this hamon looks like Uma-no-ha.
  2. Hi, If you want to see a good ayasugi hada: Knowing the talent of Gassan Sadakazu i don't wonder if this blade is a fake. It is one of course.
  3. Hi, Maybe it could be called sumi-hada...

    shoshin ?

    Hi, Suganashi is made of nie. Looks more like nijuba but difficult to see correctly :?
  5. Hi, here you have a genuine Inoue Shinkai... if you want to buy it, you need to win at the "euromillion" :lol: :lol: http://www.token-net.com/103%20shinkai1.html price 324 300$ (not rather expensive my son :lol: )

    shoshin ?

    Hi, May be i've all wrong, but look at the location of the mekugi-ana on the oshigatas it is always above the first kanji.
  7. Hi, At the same time:
  8. The hamons seems Fujimio-saigyo. seems to be a sugu yakidashi too (but not sure) There was a swordmith of the mishina school wich worked like this: Tanba no kami Yoshimichi (sandai), he worked in the late 17th. It is just an assumption of course not a certitude
  9. Hi John, You wonder if they are gimei? :lol: :lol: I don't :lol: :lol:
  10. I said that about the look of the tagane them seem to my eyes a little bit too visible.
  11. hi, Some Clarification here.
  12. Hi, More than 400 years? Not sure
  13. Hi, Thanks for the clarification Guido. It is true that Sue-Bizen is hard about lineage of smiths. Some of names were used for several generations and it was not infrequent to see two smiths working at the same time with the same name. Perhaps it is this one who forged the Kibitsu-maru [/img]
  14. Hi, Really hard to tell something, but it seems to me that this blade is not so old, the mei tagane are visible Yasurime too . If it worth enough to be polished? only a polisher with the sword in hand can be able to determine it.
  15. Hi, If i'm not wrong, the Norimitsu Nodachi is Kokuho :D
  16. Hi, Handle this blade during Forging? OOHHH NOOO!!! Very difficult to polish too Concerning the age of this blade the patina of the nakago seems artificial and yasurime are clearly visible in the upper part of the nakago but not under
  17. Hi, Osafune Norimitsu was a great smith Look at this blade :D http://japantrip.tripod.com/nodachi/norimitsu.html
  18. Hi, I think that the nengo is Kyotoku 享禄 ni (1453) but i'm not sure :?
  19. Hi, One thing is interesting in Tatara nagayuki work, he produced an utsuri and that was rare in shinto jidai
  20. Hi, The mei reads YOSHIKUNI Yoshikuni, as you say, are numerous from koto to showa jidai. Looking at the yasurime (seems kesho) i don't think that this blade is a koto one More information like sugata, lenght of the kissaki, moto haba and kasane etc... could help more
  21. The mei must be read: Nagayuki settsu no kuni ni oite saku kore and it is always the same smith (Tatara Nagayuki)
  22. Hi, This yari needs an entire polish but is this blade in polish? that is the question
  23. Hi, For me it is: machi-okuri = Blade length becomes shorter but the total length does not change. O-suriage = all the nakago is cut and a new one is shaped so both blade length and total length become shorter Suriage and machi-okuri = Both blade length and total length become shorter Suriage = Blade length does not change. Only the nakago becomes shorter.
  24. Hi, Nobody san, where is the difference? :lol:
  25. Hi, This one is OK for me :D Mei says Tatara shi Nagayuki on the omote, Settsu (no) kuni (ni) oite kore (wore) tsukuru on the ura.
