edzo Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 Dear Members opinions and comments Tanto, Aikuchi mounted in black lacquer, silver and gold koshirae including gold morimon, shobu-zukuri blade is complimented with horimono. I think the the small bo-hi on the shinogi (ridge), must have been a feat to execute! Blade is signed “Bitchu Kuni ju kuni…tsugu?, blade has been shortened and aparently polished many times. I have been advised that it is a koto blade. I’m hoping someone can look at the tang and signature and confirm or speculate on “Tsugu”, I’m fine with the other kanji. Maybe the horimono can lead me somewhere, ken with vajra? hilt? not sure. Any assistance is appreciated! Thanks, Ed Quote
