8 Ball Posted November 18, 2021 Report Posted November 18, 2021 Hey everyone, I’ve had this sword for awhile now and am curious if anyone is able to identify it or would be able to provide any information on it. It is signed, however I have had no luck in translating the mei, due to its condition. Hamon is Suguha. Kissaki is possibly Ko-Kissaki Measurements are as follows: Length from Kissaki to machi: 25” width at machi: 1 1/8” Thickness at machi: 5/16” Quote

Fuuten Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 Adding sori, the amount of curvature would be helpful too. Appears to be a genuine Japanese blade, that's as far as I'll go. To me it does not look like a ko kissaki, leaning to chu. Quote
kyushukairu Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 The first character is possibility ‘Kuni’ (國) and looks similar to the way Rai school smiths carved it Quote
