It is a mumei ko-wakizashi, 1 shaku 1 sun (13.6 inches) in a shirasaya
it is in good polish and is more beautiful than my pictures can do it justice, the attached picture is to show the hada and a small bit of the hamon, I have more and I will attach them
I have a mumei wakisashi with polish marks under the habaki and the kissaki, the polish is beautiful, next time I get it out I’ll be sure to count them up
Wow, that’s a really odd wakizashi, I kind of like it just because of how different it is, feels like some sort of prototype that went nowhere, neat piece of history
Perfect is subjective and depends on use, for example a ‘perfect’ combat sword is different to a ‘perfect’ collectors’ sword, my personal taste is tight hada and a slightly curved hamon
