NewB Posted July 26 Author Report Share Posted July 26 None of the attributions fit the blades if that’s Showa rust on the nakago then I’m definitely in the wrong sport… yv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shugyosha Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 Maybe the earlier Showa starting 1312? But then again, it doesn't look that early to me as there's a substantial hamachi... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paper says late Showa: 昭和 (1926 - 1989). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewB Posted July 26 Author Report Share Posted July 26 Im not criticizing the shinsa team but there’s absolutely no way this is a late showa blade especially after looking at other examples of the smith. Not even close… and that is Kanemoto? I’m just sooo confused and definitely disappointed I accept that shinsa is only an opinion but that opinion shouldn’t be centuries apart.. yv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Éric VD I respect you chiming in - Indeed you’re right no smell no evidence of tempering (artificial aging) black rust as nambokucho and the latter and then the 2nd one - that’s Kanemoto? Or Kanemitsu :D or earlier … no clue.. thank you for the input nonetheless ! apparently nbthk remains the last resort for dreamers as myself lol dont mind the irony yv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
