Another Kanji ID

[pd7077]

I’m working on a 360mm honyaki yanagiba for a friend, and I’m curious if anyone recognizes this kanji. My buddy was told that it’s a Genkai, but the kanji doesn’t match previous Genkais that I’ve worked on.

That is accurate.

Its an early Genkai.... they are rather rare to see...

Could you post a pic of whole knife, both sides? Not that it's needed for your question, I know. Because I need more KNIFE PORN.
