By the way, if you (or anyone else) were looking for a very detailed and amazing resource book on samurai swords, check out 'The Samurai Sword: A Handbook' by John M. Yumoto. It's a nearly 200 page book on the history and stages of the different weapons and almost every single possible variation like temper marks, etc, and all the terms. If you want to check it out look someplace like here [link]
