    I've seen a few Kanetoshi. All didn't have any stamps, and were very good swords. As far as I know, he didn't make Showato.

    It still comes down to, what are you looking for? Have you done all of your homework (Study) Do you know what you're looking at? What is your price range, etc. A sword in the hand is worth a 1000 photo's. This is also applicable for Japan.

    Signed, Kanezane, Showato.

    I think it's just lower quality.

    The Tsuba is early Showa period, civilian.

    If my memory serves me well, I remember reading that, during the Mongol Invasion, swords with Hi, ending or going through to the Boshi, were found to break, more easily.

    Derek, this is a Rust Resistant (Stainless Steel) sword. It doesn't have, Hada.

    Just going by your description, which ever one you like the best. I don't think anyone would be able to give you any better advice, without photos and better descriptions.

    A very tight Ko Itame hada, unless polished properly, can come across as Muji. I remember when I first started collecting, I was told that most Shinshinto/Gendaito, were Muji. This is of course was not right. Most of the swords coming into the hands of collectors, post war, had a wartime polish. These wartime polishes showed the Hamon, but, the Jihada wasn't paid enough attention.

    Kajihei, the most well known forger. Some of forgeries are better than the original. Some, actually collect known Kajihei forgeries. I believe his Smith name was, Naomitsu and was grandson of Naotane (possibly)?

    Who dated it to early Shinto, Hizen?

    Getting good quality Choji oil, is hard to find. Most choji oils on the market are scented mineral oil. I go with Tsubaki.
  14. David Flynn
    Better photo's would also be a help.

    Well, we all can't live in the Paradise, which is South Africa.
