No shu Kane Yuki ? Sane Kin / Kawa Niu Saku? (not)

[Cuirassier]

Hello all

I have not been here for a while and come cup in hand again.

I generally can work out meis as my interest is guntos (sorry) and this blade came in one.

I first use the Arts of the Japanese Sword to try and identify individual kanji and then Modern Japanese Swordsmiths if I need to.

This mei is clearly well done, but has me completely stumped.

The blade is very well made, gendaito for sure; just look at the hamon (sorry, I am bad at photography)

Can anyone name the smith please?

Thanks in hope

Mark

KANEHISA perhaps?

The smith is Kaneyuki a student of Watanabe Kanenaga.  What he made it out of I'm not sure (motte shin kin nyu saku)?

濃州 - Noshu

兼幸 - Kaneyuki

以 眞金 入 – motte magane iri (with iron (or core steel?) inside) – I’m not sure about the correct meaning.

作 - saku

Thank you all. No wonder I could not get this one. Again, thank you.
