Hello, I believe what I have here is a WW2 Japanese Samurai Sword. I am new to Japanese Swords and know there is a lot around them, especially these WW2 era swords. I have posted a picture of the signature and a picture of the tang/blade, handle, and sheath. I think it is in rough shape but still fi...

My Masatsugu gunto arrived today - I got it from a fellow NMB member to whom I am most grateful. The leather clad saya came with a matching tsuka cover. I very much doubted that the sarute was original to the koshirae, but now that I see it with my own...

Hello NMB, I just made this account recently and am posting for the first time, but I have observed the forums from afar for some time. I already know preservation is the objective here so I am looking for a nihonto that is both young (preferably post-WWII) and doesn't have any artistic value (no N...

Hey guys, Posting this for a friend who is not tech savvy. He wants to know who this smith is. He believes it to be a gendai smith by the name of Okano Mitsuhiro. I attempted to look them up and found nothing. Anyone got a lead on this smith or has he discovered one that's fallen out of...

I have been lurking in this forum for some time, but rarely post anything. I apologize for that. Please also move this thread to the appropriate sub-forum, should it not be. I have been trying to "authentify" a gendaitō/shinsakutō that is supposed to be made by the honorable...

I offer a very beautiful yasukuni to made by the famous tosho Kotani Yasunori in March 1943. This especially long katana comes in shirasaya and the original matching numbers shingunto koshirae. This yasukunito has a good wartime polish, so every activity is clearly visible. Anyway I recommend a new...

Picked up this sword fairly cheaply, no papers but the seller claimed it’s a gendaito. There is a visible hada, but I’m not entirely convinced that the Hamon is genuine. What do you guys think? The price was low enough that even if it’s not real it’ll work as a new cutter.

What characteristics besides the existence of showato and mass produced swords separate gendaito from Shinshinto? Basically, geometry wise, what makes these two different?
