Cursive Kanji

[SwordStudent703]

Hey everyone, 
 
I saw a 'seki' stamped gunto and am trying to find the right kanji to read the tang. I think its cursive which is making it very difficult for me. I can't even get past the province name, lol. I can only make out the last two kanji saying "saku kore" (made this) but that's only because I recognized that most ww2 era blades end thus. If anyone could help it would be great. Unfortunately I don't have a better pic to upload. 
 
Thanks.

Uji....

Likely Shinoda Ujifusa (篠田氏房).

From Sesko's index:

Ujifusa (氏房), Shōwa (昭和, 1926-1989), Gifu – „Ujifusa“ (氏房), civilian name „Shinoda Hiroshi“ (篠田寛), born May 20th 1912, student

of Watanabe Kanenaga (渡辺兼永) and Katō Jumyō (加藤寿命), he worked as guntō smith

That’s what I thought but really could not match the sword kanji with the fusa kanji....
