Jean Posted June 27, 2018 Author Report Posted June 27, 2018 Has anybody information about this smith? I think it is a 20th century smith (I don’t like the yasurime) https://www.naturabuy.fr/beau-katana-item-4948179.html#questions Commentaries are bullshit (except mine ) 2 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 One of the many WW2 Gunto smiths with only the Mei to remember them by now. Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 Jean, All things considered, perhaps his work should be pictured for future reference. There is no time better than now to restore this smiths silenced voice. -S- 1 Quote
Kiipu Posted March 14, 2023 Report Posted March 14, 2023 This is the most recent post about this swordsmith I could find. I just ran across another one and below is the link. Has anything been learned about him since? 武田音次之作 Japanese sword translation Quote
Kiipu Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 It seems none of Takeda's blades are dated and a variety of signatures were used. His first name can be pronounced as Otoji, Ototsugu, Naritsugu, or Takatsugu. One sword is in Type 98 mounts and another one in civilian mounts. 武田音次 武田音次作 武田音次之作 Quote
Kiipu Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 Courtesy of Edokko over at GBF. This one is in Type 98 fittings. 在銘 武田音次 1 Quote
