Blagoy Posted June 26, 2021 Report Posted June 26, 2021 Hello gentlemen, I'd be glad if someone help me with the translation of this wakizashi mei. It's just pop-up from one kitchen knives dealer in my country. I think it's Shinto, Kanbun. It have decent polish and new shirasaya and habaki but no paper, and its probably gimei, sinse comes from Japan just few days ago. Quote
mywei Posted June 26, 2021 Report Posted June 26, 2021 I think it is Echi (no) zen-shu ju Kanetane 越之前州住兼植 Echizen-Seki school http://www.sanmei.com/contents/media/A19229_S1298_PUP.htm 1 1 Quote
Blagoy Posted June 26, 2021 Author Report Posted June 26, 2021 Matt, thank you for your effort and your help! I will make a research. Thanks again! Quote
Blagoy Posted June 26, 2021 Author Report Posted June 26, 2021 It's definitely gimei. A lots of missmatch in the mei. Cheers, Blagoy Kirilov Quote

Cheers, Blagoy Kirilov Expand I'm not so sure of that to be fair, there were multiple (3 or 4) generations of Echizen Kanetane, and your mei looks quite similar to the one in the link (3rd gen I think). Plus to my knowledge I don't think Echizen Seki is that often a victim of gimei 1 Quote
