Already cleaned not yet polished and have shirasaya from Agar wood which have natural parfume on it. However wrong shape on shirasaya due to the sword scabbard maker dont understand katana
Lol im ok with made in china as long as the quality of metalurgi shows hard steel and soft steel combine like being shows in this sword with green color (hard steel) and white bluish color is mix of soft and medium steel.
