Stephen Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 Brian's link at first thought to be same sword, just a few things off on the strokes, so another of the same? one poster said stamped mei which is bogus as its clearly cut, but not a recorded smith, good find B. Quote
Craven Snake Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 Hello, I own the Kiyofune sword posted in the sword forum article. I have had it examined by sword mounters and Japanese sword smiths alike and they all agree that the blade is a nihonto. I also agree that the mei inscription is not stamped, but hand done and typical of a Japanese signature. However, I have yet to find anything about this sword smith anywhere on record. 1 Quote
