Hello All, This is my inherited Gendaito from my grandpa. It appears to be an RJT blade by the smith Noshu Ju Kaneshige dated February 1944

@ROKUJURO Thank you. I appreciate it

I am looking for an authentic Type 98 Sarute to complete my sword...everyplace I have been able to find seemingly only has replicas. Any help in the area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Paul

Hello Everyone. I am new to forums and it looks as tho I skipped this step in etiquette. I have already posted in the translation section. I have just inherited my grandfather’s sword that he brought back from the pacific. I am interested in Gendaito and learning from you all. Thanks in advance. Paul

@vajo you could be correct. But to me the handwriting looks to be the same as well. The only difference that I am seeing is that it appears that the chisel used on mine was more blunt. That would make sense to me. Thank you for your input

@mecox Thanks again for your help. I am curious if you referenced a book in your research. If so which one. I have found a couple copies of Hawleys book at around $1000. Too steep for me

MINO KANESHIGE TACHI RV also referenced on this site quoting Hawley https://nihontoclub.com/smiths/KAN538 I will be working on posting full detailed pictures later on today...thank you for the advice I will take it into consideration. God Bless

mecox...thank you, I spent almost 3 days trying to figure it out. I appreciate you taking the time to help me figure it out as well. I will take some good pictures of the blade, koshirae etc and post them as well. I got tripped up with the Kinju mei as well. I do not have books as of yet, so being able to find the smith was tricky. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

Hello all. I just inherited my grandfather’s Shin Gunto. I have done some digging for my self and appears to be to my eye gendaito. I believe I have it translated correctly and would like some feedback as I cannot find any info on the smith. my translation is as follows: Rikugun Jumei Tosho showa 19 ni gatsu Noshu Ju Kaneshige
