drb 1643 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 I’m hoping for help in determining the approximate age of this tanto. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much, Tom Quote
O-Midare Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 Possibly Bishu Osafune NoriMitsu. (Nori?) Looks Muramachi. Quote
SteveM Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 備州長船勝光 Bishū Osafune Katsumitsu Compare with this one here https://www.touken-world.jp/search/22548/ 1 Quote
O-Midare Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 Thanks for the correction on Nori Steve. Quote
drb 1643 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Posted January 18, 2021 Thank you very much Dwayne and Steve. Would you guys have an approximate time period for this? Tom Quote
Rivkin Posted January 18, 2021 Report Posted January 18, 2021 One could compare it with signatures of different generations, but for lazy and ignorant people like me, judging by style its 5th to 6th generation, and quite likely the 5th (1500-1520). Its a good work and worth having. If you are thinking about selling I am sure quite a few people would be interested. Quote
drb 1643 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Posted January 18, 2021 Thank you very much Kirill, for now I’m just trying to get an approximate age and not interested in selling. Thank you again for your expertise. Tom Quote
