Greetings ! I am trying to figure out this Mei, first kanji is Oka , second Da , third Kane , fourth ??? , fith Saku.

Okada Kane ?? Saku. Has a seki stamp, very nice civilian fittings, nice Hamon. If I'm wrong with any of the transalation feel free to correct me, very new to this. Regards, Mario P.

Mario,

The mei reads OKADA KANESADA SAKU. I have one here I've just catalogued for a friend's auction house. Put the mei in quotes into google and you'll find all there is to know.

 

Regards,

Barry Thomas.

Much Thanks, Kanezumi or Kanesada... , the kanji still leaves some doubt as to which one it is for certain. Thanks again

Greg, Stephen and Barry. This blade is going up on E-Bay and just wanted to get a little more info on the smith. If you fellow members don't mind I would like to post this information on the listing, and 5% of selling price will go to NMB.

If it sells...Best Regards, Mario P.

They generally sell well on ebay, only those that place high starting bid requirement tend to have difficulty selling them. Gunto usually sell for 500 on up depending on condition and numbers of pictures posted.

I thought that the reading was already concluded to be Kanesada (岡田兼定 - Okada Kanesada).
