This is not about leaving things alone Brian, it is a question on attesting swords since I am trying to discern how the system actually works with NihonTo. Since there is Gimei, and also flawed attribuations by the Hon'Ami family et cetera, and since there are the NBTHK board and others who issue papers, I am trying to inventory the several thoughts on attesting swords to smiths through the ages for an article i am working on. I need to reach a thorough conlcusion so i have to ask questions which in your eyes might be awkward, but they certainly are not invalid.

However, I recommend the following method if you want to achieve the same results without spending too much time studying (it's called "applied sciences"):

Personally i regard a cutting test higher than any attribution
