First topic in this Nihonto discussion forum. Always interested in Japanese swords now that I have some more time I bought some starters books to learn about the details. Must admit that it is not easy to learn all the Japanese names. Anyway, I have this mu mei Wakizashi and would receive some information what it is. Self not ready to identify this one. Thanks in advance.
