Komonjo has a bunch of new listings.   :flog:

 

This one has my curiosity peaked...I'm not buying it, just a curiosity question.

This one is Hozon papered and attributed to "Kanenobu" 

 

I used Google Translate on the papers and it appears it the papers are alluding to this being Gimei?   Something along the lines of "Identify and prove this"  I seem to recall reading something that NBTHK will paper Gimei swords or am I wrong here?

I believe it's just plainly written "We certificate this tanto, attributed to <Kanemasu(兼倍)>." No gimei mentioned.

Don't know why the seller listed that blade as Kanenobu(兼信)'s work though.
