James Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Hi, Just looking at the nakago-jiri i would be very surprised it is a ken, may be a shinshinto tanto, can we see the whole blade please? I was referring to the image within the kokuin. Quote
Jacques Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Hi, I was referring to the image within the kokuin. Ah? Ok. Never seen this one. Quote
Rich S Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 I would venture a very unsure guess at Kumazawa Kanetoshi saku. Never seen that kokuin before though. The style of carving the mei seems to point to a Seki work IMHO. Rich Quote
edzo Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 Hi, I'm new at this but it looks like a stylized vajra and blade within a gourd, indicating a budhist meaning or mon. Just a thought, maybe it will lead u somewhere. Ed F Quote
