For the swords behind glass there are no informations. And since the Juyo and Tokubetso Juyo token were on the table no one was interested. -

Dear Jacques, Nagayama describes chikei as black(Page 87), Sesko describes chikei as blackish, the NBTHK say, that chikei are dark. You see chikei as white. That can only mean, that you have more and better information than the majority. Please, share your knowledge with us. At least I want to know... Uwe G. PS: I would descibe the white lines as jinie due to the lamination. -

Some people m i g h t not know the difference between chikei and Rai hada. So, here again an example: katana, attributed to Rai Kunimitsu; Tokubetso Juyo Token. The dark lines are chikei. In my eyes there is a difference to Rai hada. But what do I know? Or the NBTHK? Uwe G. -

Part I It is always good to see a civilized discussion. With opinions based on facts. This one here seems to be a little bit too theoretically. That´s why you can see now some of the discussed points. From "Jigane & Jihada", sword Nr. 31 Rai Kunimitsu, juyo token with Rai hada, end of Kamakura and Nr. 32 Ko-Aoe Koretomo with sumi-hada. mid Kamakura, Tokubetso Juyo. Uwe G. -
The kozuka is not illustrated in the catalogues.

Hi there, I got this tanto for a shooting. Nothing special but it looks nice.And I can´t figure out the signatures. Maybe you got some ideas. The tang is very rusty and that´s the best I could do. And for the koshirae maybe a Mitsumasa (late edo artist). Hope you can help. Uwe G.
