Help translating mei

Submitted by rloose on Mon, 2014-04-07 20:41

Hello-

I found this tanto while cleaning out an old storage shed. The blade has been abused, but the signature is very clear. The second character is possibly "hisa" but I have not been able to find one like the first kanji. Any help appreciated.
