Thanks guys! Now? I have to find out. Obviously I can't afford to have this guy polished and papered. *sigh* I'm gonna sell all my other junk and, finally, give this thing its' due.

I owned a signed katana by "Sa." It was gimei of course but that didn't detract from the beauty of the blade. That happened a lot! People gifted swords and the more famous the signature? The better gift it made. *shrug* As far as I know? Sa never actually made a blade that long. Still. It's old and precious. Who cares who first made it? She's awesome.

I'm not selling it. I'm gonna give it away.

Is it worth finding out which one?

There were several of those guys. But I don't think most of 'em added the "made by" kanji. Actually I didn't know anyone did that. I know there's been a lot of Tsunaie's over the centuries from what I've read. No idea on what to look for. Any place I can compare the signatures?

Thank you! Also thank you for correcting the spelling.

I know nothing. I used to think I did but I didn't. It's out of polish so pics of the blade probably won't help. I just want to verify the signature.
