umedaguy Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 I have recently acquired this lovely old blade... I believe it to be Koto, but as it is unsigned it is difficult to assign it to a particular smith or indeed school. I feel that it could be Bizen or Echizen... any information or ideas would be welcome. umedaguy@yahoo.com I have more photos if required. Quote
paulb Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Looks to be a good looking blade. To help narrow it down a little could you: 1. Post an image of the whole blade. 2. Is there masame hada in the shinogi-ji? 3. I hope it isnt my eyes but there looks to be nie in and around the hamon is that correct? Any other pictures you have will be useful thanks Paul Quote
umedaguy Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Posted August 1, 2008 Hi Paul, as requested here is a picture of the sugata and an extra one that i think shows more activity in the hammon. Quote
