Hello everyone, it's been a long time since I have logged on. A friend at work inherited a small stout Japanese blade from his late father, it has a signature on it, and I was hoping someone could translate it please.

Thanks, Rich.

Looks a bit like 昇龍作 (Shōryū-saku) to me.

 

Shōryū means "rising dragon", and so it feels a bit like a commercial brand, rather than an artists' name, but I could be mistaken.

I can't read the two small kanji at the top - a picture taken at less of an oblique angle might help.
