Just received my tanto back from polish

[Shodan]

Well here it is. 14 3/8 inches long. Of joy. It was polished by the great Woody Hall. I had some people give there opinion. And after some research. I think it maybe an Nakayama Ikkansai Yoshihiro. Well thats what I hope.

Woody does beautiful work.

Thats a busy hamon

[Stephen]

Love it,  so much to see in all that activity. Are you going to send it for papers Walt?

[Shodan]

Yes, I will definitely send it in.

[Stephen]

Will be looking forward to the results good luck

Looks amazing, I like everything about it. I have a katana with very similar O-hada and hamon but less activity.

Looks very nice! Let us know the results.

 

I had a sword recently attributed by NBTHK to the son (Nakayama Ikkansai Yoshimitchi) and I rather like all the activity (pic below). Waiting for my turn at the polishing queue  

 

Best,
