st468 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 Hi all, I recently picked up a decent kai-gunto, complete and all matching. The blade is not stainless steel and there is no arsenal stamp. The more I look at this thing, the more I suspect there may be a chance it was traditionally made. It's in ok polish with a nice highly visible hamon. Before soliciting opinions about the characteristics of the blade, I thought I'd start with trying to determine the maker. I apologize in advance for the quality of the pictures- I really need to invest in a newer digital camera... Thanks, Kory Quote
