I would be grateful for any help on this one. I think the kakihan may be "kanehisa" but that's as far as I've got.

Photos are on the following link;

Thanks John.

It's on a shin gunto that's up for sale. Unfortunately I only have a few poor photos so far - but Iam told that under the leather combat cover,

the saya is lacquered black rather than the usual painted metal?

The little I can see of the kuchi gane does not look like the usual military style - could it be a civilian saya maybe?
