cluckdaddy76 Posted February 19 Report Posted February 19 I am much better with fittings but am studying swords too. This is a pic of a wakazashi boshi, other side is same basic pattern. It runs close to cutting edge, comes back down from top of kissak and makes a small "V" before heading back up. Is there a name for this specific style of boshi? I was not confident in a match from the drawn examples I could find. I have a handful of blades in the collection I inherited, and instead of just posting them, I want to try to identify small items as I study so when I am more confident, I will ask all the right questions after taking a guess myself at the school/smith/era etc. All help is greatly appreciated.

Rivkin Posted February 19 Report Posted February 19 I don't think its 100% specific to a particular school. Without looking at books to me it looks similar to what one finds on Monju Yamato Tegai. The blade looks interesting. I am getting some late Muromachi vibes but this is obviously a pure guess. Quote
