Bruce Pennington Posted May 31, 2019 Report Posted May 31, 2019 An RJT smith, found here: http://japaneseswordindex.com/gendai2.htm Very gorgeous Brad! The small stamp is hard to make out, but looks like a poorly struck Nagoya inspector stamp. I've seen these on Star-stamped RJT blades before. Quote
Hastur Posted June 1, 2019 Author Report Posted June 1, 2019 Thanks, I was only able to find this Mitsunobu smith on the Showato listings on Jinsoo Kim's id's. was he added to the RJT program later on? it seems like a well made sword, for a previous novice showato guy. Quote
