Hello all,

Picked this up and wanted to see if anyone could help me with their thoughts on this Katana. Some of my (newbie) observances which could absolutely be wrong, but I'm trying.

Blade tip - O-Kissaki
Temper line - Notare
Curve - Shallow
Tang - Square tip - Kiri - Kaku-ichi-monji
Grain - Hard to see any grain - plain ( I hope it isn't a cheap new steel sword)
Shape - Shinogi - Zukuri

Hello everyone,

I normally do not buy a gunto, however, this one looked in very good shape for a good price.
Can someone please help me identify the sword smith? I have attached a photo of the mei.

Thanks again for any help provided...!

Hello all,
Having just had a sword papered to Kaga kagemitsu (Fujishima school) I was hoping someone could point me to some oshigata resource for this smith.
