Caracal Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 Need help! Is this a Sukehiro or not? Mei Gimei? It's my own pictures från Iphone sorry for bad pictures....... Robert ロバート アンガー Quote
Jacques Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 Yes it's signed Tsuda Echizen no kami Sukehiro, and yes, it's gimei 3 Quote
16k Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 Hey Jacques, Just to expand my knowledge, how can you be so sure? i would have said Gimei too because there isn’t much jinie and the activities seem wrong for Sukehiro nidai, but please, more details! Quote
vajo Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 Compare it with that sukehiro. From Pablo Kunz Unique Japan. Quote
16k Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 ^ That’s beautiful, and yes, much more jinie Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 Robert, unless a blade has kanteisho (& not a green one), you can safely assume that it's gimei, & you'll be right the vast majority of the time. I wish more people would remember that! Buy the blade, not the mei! Quote

CSM101 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 In the end it is enough to take a look at the signature: the kanji are just scratches. There is no strength in there. And with a signature like that you don´t need to take a look at the rest. Uwe G. 2 Quote
