What can I say @jesse I'm a sucker for the red Chuck Taylors.

A close up of the hamon, I'll get better pictures of the nakago when I get home.

Can upload more photos if required.

I hope these are much better.. pretty comfortable with taking the blade apart now. A lot easier than I ever imagined. As far as length goes it's nearly 27 inches from the end of the habaki.

As suggested I got more photos of the blade, got access to the Nakago even though it was nerve racking.

Thank you for the quick responses, when I get off I will try and gain access to the Nakago. This community is awesome.

Here is a photo of the sword in it's Saya, as far as I know the nakago isn't inscribed though I have been too shy to take the tsuka off myself. I'm just scared of ruining the pin. I can get more detailed photos after work tonight if it's needed. I'm just curious if it's a mass produced katana, recent build, or maybe older? I'm not great at reading Japanese but I couldn't find anything to do with a date on its certification. It is certified in Osaka. Just curious is all, I don't expect it to be worth a whole lot.
