Most of the craftmen of the Kinai school simply signed Kinai (記), with differences in their ways of engraving it. Kinai craftsmen only made sabre guards (Tsuba) with an excellent quality of forged steel. Many varied patterns were used, Dragon, for the first generations then fish, birds, shells for the 3rd generation, and finally autumn insects and flowers for the 5th generation. |

| Study & Team Review |
Team Review : Still in it original condition, even if the sheath and the tsuka braiding have been damaged, the blade is quite well conservated, with no visible smithing default, showing a nice quenching line in Gunome. This is a rare and impressive blade with its length (76cm Nagasa), along with the O kissaki, typical from Shinshinto (Bakumatsu). Nice set of Tosogu (fitting pieces), coming a signed Kinai Tsuba. |
