Hi Peter,

Hawley put out a list of swordsmith titles in a booklet called "Honorary Titles used by Swordsmiths" in 1974, but this is number keyed to his old "Blue Books" of 1966.

 

The "Nihonto Meikan" has a list of about 50 pages of them in the back  (much more comprehensive than Hawley's) but of course it is in Japanese.

 

I don't know of any others, sorry.

Hi Peter,

 

Sorry if you know this already or it's not what you want, but if you look at Markus Sesko's compendium under the research link there is a section in there that lists the titles awarded to smiths. I think it's exhaustive.

 

Best,

John
