Sayagaki - help needed

[Marius]

Hello, everybody :-)

 

I am probably not the first nor the last beginner to ask you a favour. I would need a translation of a sayagaki, if someone is so kind as to spend his/her time on this.

 

I have published pictures of the sayagaki here:

Many thanks, and sorry to bother you with that.

 

Best regards

The sayagaki is as follows. I was not able to translate the descriptions of the blade into proper English. Maybe someone can help us, if necessary.
