    That'd be my guess. Looks like a gaku-mei that fell out. Those sticker appraisals on the shirasaya are interesting. I haven't seen those before. Another thought, has this blade been retempered? The hamon looks to run off at the nakago, but the tang also has signs of suriage and a gakumei. Edit: This picture makes me wonder if there has been saiha

    Alternative torture method: Buy an 8 volume set of nihonto books that don't have an English translation and index them manually. I learned a lot of kanji for names that way, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to someone who doesn't want 80lbs of sword books they can't read taking up their bookshelf space.

    Wouldn't this be Munetsugu? I also don't know if this is the same smith but Fujishiro mentions a Munemichi that signed Munetsugu initially from Echizen Shimosaka:

    This is a great tool that I also use for kanji I don't recognize right away or for kanji that aren't common on mei.

    Would a good sayagaki by Tanobe have any impact at Juyo shinsa?

    Good call. Tanobe had a lot to elaborate on with my sword and gave a firmer attribution than the NBTHK did. His opinion is always a good addition, especially on any early swords coming out of Japan.

    A kitchen scale with a microfiber cloth to protect the blade would work great

    2.65M and climbing. We might see this go to 3M JPY

    2.5M JPY final price Edit: Nevermind the auction is still going, might go even higher

    This one wouldn’t bother me. i posted one a while back where the bohi extended into the kissaki quite a bit that I thought looked a bit off.

    Are there examples of many re-tempered blades at Juyo+? I'd imagine the much more detailed Juyo papers would have lots of commentary available on the retempering.

    Great video @GeorgeLuucas! I don't know much at all about tsuba but this was very informational!
