[Mark]

i have a katana. it is suriage. 

 

on one side i see Tempo 9 th year 8th month then  "Michi"  or something, i don't understand what that may mean after the date, maybe more that was cut off?

 

the other side is a challenge for me i can make out a few kanji but can't understand the meaning, again maybe some is missing

 

any help appreciated

What are the mounts Mark? Any evidence that this nakago was altered - looks like you have a place name, a family name (Ono) but no first name - on the ura the Michi? may be the start of the owners name? now cut off?

吹毛且不動　小野  (rest is cut off)

Suimō katsu fudō Ono-

 

Suimō means sharp ("sharp enough to cut a hair by just blowing on the hair and letting it fall on the blade")

Fudō in this context presumably means unbreakable. 

 

So "Sharp and unbreakable Ono---"

吹毛且不動小野…., not sure if it’s right.

Do you have more photos of the mounts handy, they look like nice ones.

Date looks like Tenpo 9, 8th month, so August 1838?
