hale1940 Posted January 21, 2021 Report Posted January 21, 2021 Hey there, Posting this sword for a friend who is curious about it. Its being advertised as a nice Gendaito with a ko-choji hamon. Comes with a company grade tassel as well. But, unfortunately there is corrosion on the nakago that covers most of the mei. Would love to hear your opinions of it and if anyone can make anything of the mei. thanks for any feedback! Quote

Bruce Pennington Posted January 21, 2021 Report Posted January 21, 2021 Don't put any weight on my opinion on this, as I'm usually wrong about the smiths, but if that's a Seki stamp at the top, maybe it's this one: Quote

But I'm even less of a Kanji expert then you Bruce (I'm more like an inexpert lol). My friend is curious as to what you guys also the think of the blade regardless of the mei, at least from what you can see, I know the pictures aren't amazing. Quote
Stegel Posted January 22, 2021 Report Posted January 22, 2021 Looks nice to me, are there any other pictures on the listing?? Seeing the full tang would be handy, to see if any stamps are there, then also the asking price would be handy to know, what is it? Quote

Stephen Posted February 11, 2021 Report Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Full tang shots or no deal. Edited February 11, 2021 by Stephen Quote
vajo Posted February 12, 2021 Report Posted February 12, 2021 The sword looks like assembled together. They didn't fit really together and on the tsuka side are far to much seppa. 1 Quote
