Hi Jeff, your tanto is signed Yamato (no) kuni Norinaga. This js the mei if the famous founder of the Yamato Shikkake school, and there were several other individuals that work later using the same mei of Norinaga. My impression is that the mei is later than when the Norinaga lineage worked ( meaning this may not be an authentic inscription) but this otherwise can be a very nice and legitimate koto tanto. 

 

Best regards, 

Ray

Jeff,

in case the KASANE (thickness) near the MUNE MACHI was more than 9 mm, I think this might indeed be a YOROI-DOSHI. What is the NAGASA (length from tip to MUNE MACHI)?
