Looking to sell my papered daito attributed to Echizen Kanenaka. This blade is super beefy, and would make a good ko-katana if mounted. Tons of niku, very healthy blade. Dated around 1670-1688. Blade has next to no kizu besides very minor dots of inactive rust. Has kicho papers, but these seem legit as besides them being the white papers, the oshigata also looks like it was done by a professional rather than a 5 year old. Stats: Nagasa: 25.3 inches Sorii: 0.5 inches/1.3cm Total Length: 36.3 Inches Looking to get 3000 shipped for this piece, am open to offers, as well as trades for other nihonto. Pm if interested Pictures: https://photos.app.goo.gl/fpkpAEpiJrWBc2mX8 Plan on taking better pictures later

Lol it's actually a 9mm. Star firestar Incase you're interested. It's basically a compact steel frame 9mm 1911

Btw here are boshi pics. Easier to see in person, but the hamon goes up close to the mune, then it comes down like a tentacle and then back up again. Looks sue tegai

Heres better pics. I think youre right, looks masame

hada looks like itame or mokume to me

Sorry about that! These should be a bit better. I dont have a flashlight in my apartment atm, so i had to use my lamp lol. If these arent good enough ill just get a flashlight and take proper pics

Thanks! I'll have to see if I can make it to that. He also mentioned it might be late muromachi. Here's the pics I added to that album. Understand it's super difficult to tell based off pics, but the infor you guys are giving me is greatly appreciated

Friend changed his guess to tensho era, maybe earlier. Also said it might be a kaga blade

https://photos.app.goo.gl/f34sJreAgUn93oca8 heres a photo album with more pics on it

Cool! Any estimation of what era it may be? Muromachi probably?

Hopefully these pics catch the hada better

also the rust on it is a very dark brown almost black

nagasa is around 21 inches. distance at munemachi is aroun 1 3/32 inches

Sure! One second, Ill need to remove the tsuka

Friend of mine who studies yamato school swords in Japan estimated that it may either be kashu or kongobyoe

also you can call me Jonathan

Nope, no attribution. Seller estimated 1650s for when the blade was made. Camera on my phone is a little meh, my bad for photo quality issues

ill try to get better pics, Thanks!

Bought this edo period waki in koshirae for 880. Its mumei, and id like to see what school or smith it is attributed to. Is around 20 inches in length.

Sold

just an fyi: consensus on here is leaning towards it being a showato. Because of this, I would be willing to take offers lower than asking price.

I see what you mean. Here are more pics in hopefully better lighting
