It is very likely to be the early work of the second generation hisasaku. It is more precise than his later works. It may also be that the owner of Suiheya shop asked the second generation Hisasaku blacksmith to improve the precision of the production. A similar situation also occurred with the second generation Kiyotada blacksmith.
