k morita Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 Hi, Several months ago,I participated in certain "Kanteikai" (sword identification contest ) in Tokyo. (I only admired the swords.) The participant member was about 30 persons. I noticed 5-6 members were useing blue-coverd-book as reference for sword identification. The book title was "Kanto-hisho" 鑑刀秘書 (A secret book for swords judgment) . Although I have not this book yet, the Kumamoto branch of NBTHK published this book. Quote
