bernix Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 Coul someone please help in iving a hint which Kanehisa this would be concerning the mei,horimono, and condition of hte Nakako? I wouk guess that it is shinshinto, but deatils are rare ue to mistrearment of the blade, but the shape is thick and healthy. I found These Kanehisa listed : 1) Kanehisa 兼久 (unlikely) Noshu Seki Saemonjo 1394 NK392 2) Kanehisa 兼久 Seki 1573 SK2,72, K122-3, BW60 3) Kanehisa 兼久 Kayo Kimpu TS66 4) Kanehisa 兼久 Echigo Kuni ju 1830 HH1,18 Thank you, Bernhard Quote
Grey Doffin Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 Hi Bernard, The mei doesn't match with any oshigata in the books I own that are listed for a Kanehisa in my index. Hawley's shows between 30 and 40 Kanehisa; your blade is likely made by one of them who didn't make it into the references. I would guess either late Koto or possibly Shinshinto. I think the horimono with red lacquer was placed to disguise a flaw; seems an unlikely placement otherwise. Grey Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Perhaps a very early instance of Smilies...? Quote
