Jiro49 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Posted May 8, 2016 Hello, need help with this.. Trying to pin down what I have, kakko meaning process so an utushi or student blade? Thanks!! Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted May 9, 2016 Report Posted May 9, 2016 The first pic is signed toshihide ?? The second pic says morimune. Take a look at the spine of the nakago. Does it have a 'hard' yasurime line like the pic attached? Quote
Jiro49 Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Posted May 9, 2016 I will have it this week, I believe it's machiokure. Here's the pic that I have.. Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted May 9, 2016 Report Posted May 9, 2016 Check when it comes in. It's a give away for the Horii group. Quote
Jiro49 Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Posted May 9, 2016 I received some input from others and a may be a koto tanto where the machiokure was performed by toshihide.. I believe the nakago was cleaned a little. Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted May 9, 2016 Report Posted May 9, 2016 Could be. The mei does look good for Horii Toshihide. 1 Quote
Jiro49 Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Posted May 12, 2016 Ok, just got it. Yoroi-doshi sugata 9mm kasane. No yasuimei like your pic.. It's ububa, nakago looks lightly cleaned, top ana I believe is punched second smaller one is drilled. I'm confused Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Then I'd agree with the hypothesis of Toshihide altering the blade. The mei is good, but without that line, you know he didn't make it. 1 Quote
