Hello- A year or so ago-I remember watching a short clip of a sword maker in Japan who created the most unique hamon pattern I have seen so far-it was a kind of “criss-cross” pattern he made with what looked like a very small brush or a piece of straw. I will attach a drawing of what it looked like. I’ve looked for the video but can’t find it and also cant find any examples of it online. Please take a look at the drawing and if anyone knows what it’s called or has an example photo of it please let me know! Thanks for your time |

Sword Identification About a month ago, doing demo work on an abandoned house, I can across this poor soul in between a wall we were knocking down! As you can see from the pictures, this soul has been abused, beaten, chipped, dented and filed. It is stained and sad! The Katana has always been the favorite sword since I was a kid. Seeing this soul in such sad disarray, hurt my heart and soul! The Katana was an extension of a Samurai soul and in my own way, I could feel that! |

Hello. I have inherited a short sword from my grandfather. I have searched endlessly on info on this sword with no success. If someone could take a look at my photos and help me figure out its origin, it would be greatly appreciated. |

I've been obsessed with Japanese swords for almost fifty years, but never thought I would own one. I was given an old wakizashi a while back--probably almost twenty years ago. I believe the person who gave it to me purchased it at a Christie's auction, but unfortunately he copied the wrong page out of the auction catalog, and I have no way to ever get any questions answered. The tang only has markings on one side. I'm uploading pictures with different angles of lighting, hoping to get some help with identification. Here's all I could come up with: |

Hello |

I am respectfully looking for assistance. I have spent many hours attempting to decipher the markings on this katana but have only identified a few. Any assistance would be appreciated and welcome. Thank you. |

Sorry but my phone is having issues as to whether these are posting. So it seems I've sent doubles .take what can be used and please forgive the mistake. I will be trying to do the translation on my own. I have it down to honmitsi. I think. |
