  1. If this is gendai try searching takayama-to on this forum
  2. @Ed at yakiba had a kanenori last year, as I recall quite nice. Don't know if it sold yet though.
  3. I don't have the answer for you, but I believe you are referring to Tsuruta san
  4. Second character looks like 'kane'
  5. Here is another sword by the same smith https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/14115-hi-all-inherited-kai-gunto-mysteries-need-solving/
  6. I've only seen a wakizashi for sale by him and the price was not for the faint of heart. Good luck finding one, it will be a special piece I'm sure.
  7. This is a picture from one of the documents kojima tosho family in the download section by Mal Cox and Neil Freeland who are on this board. For comparison
  8. Pretty sure this is signed 'Kanenori'
  9. I'm pretty sure the first one is signed, 宮城 守國 (Miyagi Morikuni). Pretty sure he's an RJT smith who made gendaito only. Second blade I can't see well enough to make out characters
  10. That would be great!
  11. Agree with John, I'm not sure why it says general's sword
  12. That video was already posted here last week. https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/39504-pocket-cannon/#comment-409505
  13. Happened to me at the same time as Bruce, on my cell
  14. You can always ask the seller. He is on this forum, his name is Matt. You can scroll down to the dealer section and see him listed there.
  15. I think Oli is asking if it has a cutting test on the nakago, not a statement
  16. I don't believe it's a rule unless in the for sale/trade forum. But you can always PM if them if unsure.
  17. Thank you Kiipu. I have read the that document, and appreciate Mecox work, I'm sure it's very time consuming. I was just interested in his actual involvement in the school, and why he seems ignored in comparison to somebody like Kanenaga.
  18. Sorry to revive such an old thread but has anybody found out any more info about Kanenobu(father)? For being apart of the revitalization of sword making he seems to be omitted in popular literature.
  19. 100% agree, he must've
  20. Beautiful blade Eric! Can we also get a pic of the nakago. Just curious how he signed this one.
  21. Personally found all the pieces he's posted thus far quite attractive(I'm jealous), including the cutting tests. Would gladly accept any of them in my collection. For free of course 😉
  22. The paper matches the sword shown in the first pictures, the nakago photo is the incorrect one. I also don't have a problem with granite as long as it's propped at the top, which it appears so.
  23. Doing it on my phone but it looks like it's here.
  24. Looks like there is a 3 at the top of the nakagomune, hard to see but I'm pretty sure it's there.
  25. I'm not even on an amateur level of kantei, but only thing I got is Mino influenced
