Oppinions On Kanetaka

[TheGermanBastard]

Maybe somebody here bought this Kanetaka Waki? I liked its Tsuba. A pitty most of the Kodugu is gone. The Kozuka is rather unique, too. Interesting piece but sold pretty high.

I wonder what the other two Kanji said? A name? A named blade?

Wow, about $1200 final bid. Amazing.

Well, I liked the Tsuba and Kurigata ... there was too littel visisble of the blade for me as to place a big bid on it. Also I am not into Wakizashi anymore these days. Still I would have liked to see more of the blade.

I put a low bid on that one Luis, and did like the tsuba as well.  I was also interested in this one, that went out about the same time.  It is signed Daido, but I couldn't convince myself that the mei is good.

Yes, the Daido was also on my watch list. I liked its Sugata very much. Also good Horimonos. I think the Daido had a good signature and I liked its Tsuba, too while it was unfortunately overcleaned. But again it sold for more than my wallet could have bared. I think both blades were interesting and fetched good money for the sellers

If the mei was good, it wasn't the shodai, so I passed on it.

I think the money is in the Tsuba here. Very nice, imho.

Hello Josh, were you referin to the Kanetaka or the Daido Tsuba? I liked both very much. Was the Daido Tsuba Goto?

[Surfson]

I think it was gimei Yanagawa Haruhide Luis.  b

[J Reid]

Luis, I'm referring to the Kanetaka Tsuba. Looks like a formal dress Tsuba (Kenjo). Sort of rare. Not sure on the school, but I wouldn't say it is Goto. The Nanako isn't refined enough. Not sure on an attribution.

[TheGermanBastard]

Hello Josh, thank you. I was refering to the Tsuba on the Daido. Bob got it as Yanagawa Haruhide.

 

The Kenjo Tsuba was also lovely. Thanky ou for the information.
