cabowen Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Hi, Funny discussion, :D i still wonder myself how man can attribute a mumei blade to a smith based on poor pictures and a speculation on a detail when the whole shape (specially the nakago) doesn't match the school; Reread the above as it has all been explained in detail. Experience never protects anybody being wrong, it only reduces the probabilitie. No one has claimed anything different. Feel free to post your own attribution speculation.
Jacques D. Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Hi, Reread the above as it has all been explained in detail. Are they bible words ? idon't think. You provided that nakago, i would like to know where it comes from.
cabowen Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Are they bible words ? idon't think. You wondered, an explanation was previously provided. In a word: experience. That is what allows people to look at a few poor pictures and postulate an attribution. No one said it was certain. You provided that nakago, i would like to know where it comes from. Bizen.....
Jacques D. Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Hi, the crab-claw elements in the hamon (kani-tsume) point towards Sukesada of Bizen....likely late Koto... You are quite affirmative tought. About the nakago provided i would know from which site, it comes from. Nothing says it is genuine.
fritaly Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Posted June 29, 2011 Please don't be so harsh with me, Jacques. I thank everyone for their comments because this gives possible hints. I'm absolutely not educated enough to state that my sword is from this or that smith or school, I'll never have that pretension. Moreover I cautiously used the word "may" on purpose. Sorry if my post gave you the impression I had a rock solid belief in an attribution to smith or school. For what it's worth ...

Nothing says it is genuine.[/quote] "point towards" does not mean "is" "likely" does not mean "definitely" Google Sukesada and search the images and you will find it....As for the other one in this thread, you will have to ask the person who posted it.... Really, this is all more nonsense....The op asked for comments....I gave mine. You don't like it, then move along....Once again you are adding nothing to the discussion....
