Chako Posted June 28, 2007 Report Posted June 28, 2007 Hello all, Can you tell me anything about this smith? 26 1/4 inch blade has been abused, buffed and scrubbed, but I kind of like the tsuba. Thanks, C. Quote
Wim V Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 Hi, The mei seems to look like Sukesada to me (祐定). However, I have no idea if it's authentic or not. Maybe you could post some pictures of the blade (sugata, nakago, and some details of the hamon and boshi if possible) in order to judge if it could match the mei. Best regards, Wim Quote
Chako Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Posted June 29, 2007 Hello Wim Thank you for your help. These are the only other pictures available and not sure if they will help you or not. Best regards, Chako. Quote
Tim Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 Diamond in the rough? Looks like a nice blade, but pretty tired in its current state. The openings in the steel, I guess those would affect value at all? Tim Quote
