I have another wakisashi...

[Frank Kruse]

I had a customer bring in a wakishashi, its very similar to the last one I posted that was made in 17th century. Can you guys take a look and shed some light on the maker, age, etc... I would really appreciate it.

Pictures of Wakisashi

Fujiwara Saneyuki. There was a Bungo Saneyuki that worked mid 1600's, but I don't recall him signing like that with only the four characters. Probably more important to see the entire blade than the mei.

I'll see if I can call him and have him send the pictures of the full blade. The Wakisashi blade looks identical to the one I posted last time.
