chinaski Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Komonjo has a bunch of new listings. This one has my curiosity peaked...I'm not buying it, just a curiosity question. https://www.ebay.com/itm/135297889956 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? Quote
Yumso Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 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. 2 Quote
Jussi Ekholm Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Also as it is signed item NBTHK is stating they judge it as Seki Kanemasu (兼倍). So it is authentic signed wakizashi by very little known late Muromachi smith. 2 1 Quote
