Hello all.
I started a threat on NMB to get information on a tanto i just got. http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=13718. If you could add anything further or a link to the smith if it is indeed masakiyo.
Many thanks
PETER

i,m hoping with better pics i could possibly get a little more information on this Tanto, 30.2cm in nagasa. 21.5 blade. kesho yasuri on tang. Toran hamon, this style hamon ive read was favoured by the smiths of Osaka ( settsu province)and the blade seems shinto period.
many thanks,
Peter

Hello,
I was hoping for some expert translating of this blade available for purchase. I can see it has a Hon'ami character and Okayama prefecture but cannot make sense of much of the other kanji. Any thoughts? It is Mumei.
