OnTime2Day Posted December 29, 2019 Report Posted December 29, 2019 Hello! I appreciate any assistance on Mei and any other thoughts on this Tanto. Shame about the Habaki...it looks to possibly be gold and has interesting fine details, but some redneck must have used pliers on it to get it out of mount. Tanto came in shirasaya. Nagasa 21.5cm Nakago 10cm Munimachi 0.5cm Motohaba 2.1cm Thanks! 1 Quote

OnTime2Day Posted December 29, 2019 Author Report Posted December 29, 2019 Thank you. Based on this Mei, looks like it must be one of the Bungo smiths from the 15th or 16th century? Lucky find. Was literally in with bunch of used fishing knives/ pocket knives. Just a bit of surface rust here/there. No deep pitting. Will be in better care. 1 Quote
OnTime2Day Posted December 29, 2019 Author Report Posted December 29, 2019 Perhaps NAG324 1441-1457 famous for his Horimono? Quote
